Handling Big Data with Clojure

“Big data” problems are often big because of constraints: data volume, memory limits, time windows, and operational complexity.

Clojure gives you two strong levers:

• immutable data + pure transforms (easier to reason about)
• the entire JVM ecosystem (you can interop with battle-tested libraries)

This section focuses on pragmatic scaling tactics: streaming where possible, batching where necessary, and keeping boundaries explicit so your system stays debuggable.
