Workshop: Build Backends at Any Scale With Rama — taught by Nathan Marz (June 4, 2026)
Hi r/Clojure,
I'm really excited that Nathan Marz is teaching a live 4-hour Rama workshop through ClojureStream on June 4, 2026 (17:00–21:00 UTC / 19:00–23:00 CEST)
If you don't know Nathan: he created Rama, created Apache Storm at BackType (later Twitter), wrote Big Data (Manning), originated the Lambda Architecture, and on the Clojure side built Specter and Cascalog. He's been thinking about how backends should actually work for over a decade — Rama is the result.
The workshop is the same curriculum he taught at Clojure Conj, expanded from 2h30 to a full 4 hours so there's room for deeper exercises, more Q&A, and time to build the full application end-to-end (event sourcing, depots, topologies, PStates, deploying to a cluster).
Format:
Live online via Zoom, recording included
- Prereqs: Working familiarity with Clojure; no prior Rama needed
- Setup: https://github.com/clojurestream/rama-workshop
Pricing:
- CHF 349 / CHF 249 early bird / CHF 149 for annual subscribers
