Duct is a highly modular framework for building server-side applications in Clojure using data-driven architecture.
It is similar in scope to Arachne, and is based on Integrant.
Duct builds applications around an immutable configuration that acts as a structural blueprint. The configuration can be manipulated and queried to produce sophisticated behavior.
The structure of the application is defined by an Integrant configuration map. In development, Duct uses Stuart Sierra’s Reloaded Workflow. In production, Duct follows the Twelve-Factor App methodology. Local state is preferred over global state. Namespaces should group functions by purpose, rather than by layer. Protocols should be used to wrap external APIs.
This is free and open source software.
