holy-lambda VS babashka

This is easily accessible via https://github.com/FieryCod/holy-lambda

https://github.com/FieryCod/holy-lambda + free tier may fit your needs. Also support for babashka or scittle in lambdas. Many options. Looks like every provider has caught up to the cloud function space, so aws, azure, digital ocean, maybe even linode. Maybe shop around.

Check https://github.com/FieryCod/holy-lambda. It supports Clojure, babashka and native.

I'm running Clojure code compiled with GraalVM native for AWS Lambda. Cold start times are low and performance is decent enough, even with CE edition. The whole process is reasonably painless through the use of Holy Lambda https://github.com/FieryCod/holy-lambda

Not quite what you were asking for, but I wanted to chip in as another happy Clojure + GraalVM native user.

This is why holy-lambda-ring-adapter was released. An adapter is a part of holy-lambda project and is already used in production. The adapter supports all the holy-lambda custom backends:

During the weekend I was experimenting with AWS Polly (which is a text-to-speech AWS service) and Babashka in order to demonstrate usage of holy-lambda (a micro framework for running Clojure on the AWS Lambda).

It's my first post here announcing holy-lambda https://github.com/FieryCod/holy-lambda. I've resisted posting it for almost two years since it was far from being production-ready software. On the other hand, today, holy-lambda reached version 0.1.45 with some great features and fixes included. It's high time to show this project publicly.

It also gives you access to Babashka if you want Clojure for other use-cases where start-up time is an issue

I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Created by the same guy who created babashka which is a way to write bash scripts, node scripts, and even apple scripts using Clojure. A very proficient and influential developer in the Clojure community. This is how borkduke's neil helps us:

Not what you asked for but there is Babashka for scripting in Clojure.

Clojure's lazy sequences by default are wonderful ergonomically, but it provides many ways to use strict evaluation if you want to. They aren't really a hassle either. I've been doing Clojure for the last few years and have a few grievances, but overall it's the most coherent, well thought out language I've used and I can't recommend it enough.

There is the issue of startup time with the JVM, but you can also do AOT compilation now so that really isn't a problem. Here are some other cool projects to look at if you're interested:

Malli: https://github.com/metosin/malli

Babashka: https://github.com/babashka/babashka

Clerk: https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk

Being a Clojure addict, I guess I have to leave the obligatory link to Babashka too then: https://github.com/babashka/babashka (Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting)

which is now on hiatus. babashka: https://babashka.org

I've enjoyed babashka for scripting; which is close enough to clojure to allow using some/many libraries; but (probably) not for embedding.
