Clojure Lambdas have some pretty abysmal memory footprints and cold start times compared to most other languages, especially Go, Node.js, and Python. Loading the Clojure core library and application code makes this worse. Regardless, I've found Cloju...
After my last post Reducing Clojure Lambda Cold Starts Part 1 - Baseline, I remembered that a few years back, Lambdas within a VPC had some pretty terrible cold start times. Doing a comparison seemed like low-hanging fruit so I decided to run the sam...
Me and ClojureScript At various companies, I spearheaded migrations many front-end migrations, from unresponsive JSPs and ASPs to responsive but out of control jQuery SPAs; to more structured but slow-compiling and extremely verbose GWTs; back to pur...
ClojureScript Lambdas on Node seem promising so far, with an average cold start time of 182.5228 ms vs. 2.6567039 seconds for a similarly bare-bones Clojure Lambda on the JVM. But how will they compare when it comes to performing more realistic workl...
Comparing the performance of ClojureScript vs Clojure Lambda got me wondering what the performance difference is between them and the comparable JavaScript and Java Lambda with the same dependencies and essentially the same code. I'll create such Lam...
Things are looking really good for ClojureScript Lambdas over Clojure ones. From the results in my previous posts, the cold start times are way better and even just some basic code to list buckets from S3 ran significantly faster. In this post we wil...
