Clojurians Log v2
architecture
REST and CRUD are fundamentally different
GraphQL is mostly an RPC interface
I wish we start seeing proper REST systems, but it is not something people seem to be interested in
I also hope we stop seeing CRUD systems, in favour of event sourcing and/or CQRS
CQRS is complex, it is not as simple as it reads
@seancorfield this is on my "to-read" list: https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/2018-05-01-making-a-datomic-system-gdpr-compliant.html
I can see GraphQL might help being more flexible with the Q part of CQRS, but so would SQL or datalog.
The CRUD/CQRS question is largly ortogonal to the query languange/protocol queston, I think.
Hi, do you know good papers about how to build good APIs in clojure?
Well… what do you mean by API? Its a fairly general idea imo.
I mean the general API - so not REST or more special kinds ...
For example I describe data being consumed by our system using schema (https://github.com/DomainDrivenArchitecture/dda-user-crate#reference) I would call this a data-driven-api. But I assume, there are many more and probably more elegant ways to describe APIs in clojure?
well if your looking to describe clojure data for the purposes of validation then i suppose Clojure Spec would help. Its similar in nature to spec, but spec can be used for generating data as well.
would say spec & schema are playing in the same field ... but spec will allow to autogenerate doc where schema is not able to ...
