Electric + Rama - a Clojure stack from the future? by Felix Alm

Felix Alm shares his experience using Electric Clojure and Rama to build real-time, event-driven applications without traditional API boilerplate.

In this talk, Felix Alm shares his experience using Electric Clojure and Rama at Multiply to build real-time, event-driven applications without the usual boilerplate of APIs and manual data synchronization. Electric Clojure enables developers to write frontend and backend logic in a single, unified codebase, automatically syncing data between browser and server for highly interactive UIs. Rama, developed by Red Planet Labs, provides a powerful platform for event sourcing, stream processing, and scalable state management using a dataflow paradigm. Together, they create a development experience where data flows seamlessly from client to backend to database and back—without the traditional complexity of APIs, distributed systems, or custom glue code. This talk offers a high-level look at how these technologies simplify real-time web development while enabling massive scalability and flexibility. === Felix LinkedIn === linkedin.com/in/felixalm/ === Video sponsor – Ada Beat === adabeat.com === Merch === If you want to spread functional programming and support the channel, buy something from the shop: funcprogsweden.myspreadshop.net/ Chapters: 00:00 Welcome Felix Alm 01:01 Electric + Rama - a Clojure stack from the future? 02:06 Agenda 02:52 No API 07:52 Multiply – what do we do? 08:55 This is a list of recent projects 12:24 RAMA 14:15 Event sourcing 19:28 Fragments 21:20 Topology and PState 24:41 The list of the recent projects 32:06 There is NO API 35:12 Q&A #funcprogsweden
