Building, Testing & Deployment

You've written your Clojure code, now what? This lesson covers how to transform your source files into a runnable package and ensure it works correctly.

We'll explore the essential steps involved in compiling, testing, and packaging your Clojure application for various deployment environments.

Clojure code doesn't execute directly on your hardware. Instead, it gets compiled into JVM bytecode, which the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can understand and run.

• Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation: Compiles code into .class files before runtime. This is crucial for creating standalone executables.
• Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation: The JVM further optimizes and compiles bytecode to native machine code during runtime for performance.
