When building systems in Clojure, we have a great choice for backend applications (Clojure or ClojureScript), frontend applications (ClojureScript), and the CLI (Clojure or ClojureScript). When it comes to creating infrastructure, though, we must put down our favorite language and turn to CloudFormation and YAML, or as an alternative, we might use tools like AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to write infrastructure as code, but we would be using another language and not Clojure. At Stedi, we found ourselves wanting to spin up new Clojure applications without having to resort to endless lines of YAML or another language.
