Explore the architecture and unique features of Onyx, a high-performance distributed computation platform for Clojure, in this conference talk from YOW! 2015. Dive into Onyx's masterless coordination scheme and learn how it achieves consensus and fault tolerance using Clojure, even in the face of network partitions and machine failures. Discover how Onyx combines an all-data API with streaming primitives to enable flexible application design. Gain insights into functional programming, distributed systems, and data processing techniques as Michael Drogalis, the creator of shadowtraffic.io, shares his expertise on this powerful Clojure-based platform.
