Pedestal vs Ring
Developers should learn Pedestal when building web services or APIs in Clojure that require high performance, concurrency, and scalability, such as microservices, real-time systems, or data-intensive backends meets developers should learn ring when building web applications or apis in clojure, as it is the de facto standard for web development in the clojure ecosystem. Here's our take.
Pedestal

Pedestal
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Pedestal when building web services or APIs in Clojure that require high performance, concurrency, and scalability, such as microservices, real-time systems, or data-intensive backends
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for projects that benefit from Clojure's functional programming model and need robust HTTP handling with minimal boilerplate
- +Related to: clojure, ring
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Ring
Developers should learn Ring when building web applications or APIs in Clojure, as it is the de facto standard for web development in the Clojure ecosystem
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for creating lightweight, functional web services, RESTful APIs, or as a base for more complex frameworks, offering flexibility and control over HTTP handling
- +Related to: clojure, compojure
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Pedestal if: You want it is particularly useful for projects that benefit from clojure's functional programming model and need robust http handling with minimal boilerplate and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Ring if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for creating lightweight, functional web services, restful apis, or as a base for more complex frameworks, offering flexibility and control over http handling over what Pedestal offers.
