Why we built Vade Studio in Clojure
A server crash during a Valentine's date became the turning point. The pursuit of technical complexity was costing more than just code - it was costing life itself. This is a story of how three developers built an ambitious no-code platform using Clojure.
After some soul-searching, I made two radical decisions: I left my job as an engineering lead to join a startup as a junior developer, and I decided to learn Clojure. Instead of reaching for a comprehensive DAG implementation or workflow framework, we discovered that interceptors(a pattern I might never have encountered outside the Clojure ecosystem) provided an elegant solution. Compose complex workflows from small, focused pieces Handle cross-cutting concerns like logging and error tracking uniformly Implement bi-directional processing with the enter/leave phases Add monitoring and debugging without modifying the core logic
