Clojurians Log v2

How’s graphql with clojure, coming from node?

as a backend? Take a look at lacinia: https://lacinia.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I really like it as a library

i see so it’s functional and working well

any disadvantage vs advantage?

well; I can only compare lacinia against the graphql-ruby library. What I like in lacinia is that the schema is ‘just data’ and that schema & resolvers are properly seperated

i see

This; unlike the ruby implementation, allows for easy (unit) testing of resolvers as they are just functions & reuse of resolvers if you wanted to

hmm interesting

is that a web app fully clojure?

sorry; what do you mean?

we (= at my company) are using Lacinia in our Clojure backends. We have both JavaScript as well as ClojureScript consumers of this GraphQL API.

is that a company you work for or yours?

(i’ve never understood why clojure didnt get adopted fully by big companies, i even heard of some going away from it )

well, the one I work at. Lacinia itself is product of Walmart Labs and I believe is used in production there. But don’t quote me on that 🙂

i see

haha

Walmart uses and maintains Lacinia. We use it in production, around 17K req/minute right now.
