What is Pedestal?
Pedestal is a set of libraries that we use to build web services and applications. Pedestal runs in the back-end and can handle anything from tiny static web sites, to traditional page oriented applications, to dynamic single page applications utilizing server-sent events and WebSockets.
Pedestal scales up with your needs.
We wrote Pedestal to bring Clojure’s key attributes, Focus, Empowerment, and Simplicity, to the domain of Clojure web development.
Features
Ready for Production
Pedestal runs where Java runs: Applications can be deployed as standalone Clojure applications, or WAR files in a servlet container.
Pedestal integrates with
Open Telemetry to give you visibility into your running services.
Secure by Default
Pedestal automatically uses secure headers, enables
cross site request forgery protection, and other best practices. It works with
cross-origin resource sharing
to allow secure front end applications.
Easy Ramp Up
A simple Pedestal app fits into a few lines of Clojure; Pedestal includes
a deps-new template for getting you started.
When you need more power, it's ready for you.
Testable
Pedestal's core interceptor model breaks request processing into small pieces that are simple, often free of side effects, and therefore easy to
test; then lets you stack those pieces up to form your full application.
Streaming
Pedestal supports creating dynamic applications with server-sent events and WebSockets. Pedestal leverages Clojure's extraordinary asynchronous capabilities and Java's efficient NIO operations.
Composable and Extensible
Pedestal is built from components that connect via protocols, giving you the flexibility to swap out any part with something
customized to your application.
