One reason I like Elixir's Phoenix is that it's reasonably easy to leave out the heavy-weight batteries I might not want, specifically the DB library and and JS build pipeline. I also like that router is pretty simple, but can handle complex REST-y things when you need it to. It doesn't feel, to me, either bloated or bare-bones, which is nice.

all that to say, if there is in the Clojure ecosystem analogous, I'd like to hear about it.
