Thanks Timothy for detailed insight, especially point #4.
In my case I usually use AWS for deployment. AWS marketplace allows Azul Zing on Ubuntu at $0.2/hr ( $144 /month/ec2 instance + $10 flat fees = $1738 annually) for instances like i3.xlarge (30GB RAM, 4 CPU core), which is workable for me.It's actually half the annual price as mentioned on their site. https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B014KRTOOQ?qid=1526967549964&sr=0-8&ref_=srh_res_product_title https://www.azul.com/products/zing/order-zing-credit-card-or-paypal/ Don't get me wrong. By no means, I am associated with Azul company :). I believe in Buy option before considering Build option. But I am tempted to the idea of changing your default JVM choice to Zing(or any other similar product if exists) for better performance instead of trying to make my stack complex and have more moving parts for maintenance in my architecture. They have really good success stories to share. https://www.azul.com/resources/success-stories/ Also in many cases when we use Big Data or Distributed computation tools like Cascalog, Onyx, Datomic etc. or perhaps just plain simple CLJ Web app which uses NoSQL databases like Cassandra as primary database and ends up doing medium complex computation and custom aggregation would be greatly benefited. Azul Zing's C4 Garbage Collector can take care of fast garbage disposal across the giant JVM heap. For caching we can use Hazelcast or Apache Ignite as an embedded library rather than using Memcached or Redis or LevelDB which need separate deployment and maintenance efforts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
