The extraordinary simple, performant, and extensible custom AWS Lambda runtime for Clojure.

Holy Lambda supports multiple backends

• Babashka,
• Native Clojure (GraalVM compiled),
• Clojure (much faster than official AWS Java runtime),

Incoming

• nbb
• ClojureScript

Goals

• Low cold starts - Clojure goes fast on AWS Lambda!
• Multiple backends support - Unified runtime for Clojure/script!
• Minimal API - Just stuff that gets the job done!

Non-Goals

• Tight integration with deployment tools - I don't want to do this!
