Hi, imaging you could do a software project from scratch and Clojure is the main programming language. What architecture would you choose? Of course it depends, so here are some requirements and basic conditions:
- Let's assume that we are building a web application for some social media stuff - So it has to handle a lot of data - And it has to scale (there are a lot more read than write operations) - Your data store is a NoSQL document database (e.g. MongoDB) - Your deployment environment is cloud based (e.g. EC2). - It should be an architecture which fits the functional programming paradigma: side effects should be rare and controllable - The application should be extendable and maintainable It is obvious that an application cannot been done which fulfills all the criteria mentioned above one hundred percent. However you may get very close to one hundred percent for some of the points. At the moment I would say that CQRS <http://vimeo.com/13852695> is the most promising architectural pattern to do scalable, maintainable and extendable web applications. Nevertheless I've a very hard time to adapt the common practices of a CQRS application to the "functional world". Most of the CQRS stuff today comes from an object oriented world, particularly there are a lot of .Net projects <http://abdullin.com/cqrs/>. There is also a CQRS Framework for Java named Axon <http://code.google.com/p/axonframework/>. Regrettably, there are not much writings about what architecture you should use, if you are working with a functional programming language in the context mentioned above. May be I just not find the right websites or books. So here is my initial question again: What architecture would you choose?
