"Unmanned Systems Flight Planning with Clojure"
summary
ATA's Airdex Authority is a Kubernetes-backed flight planning system that administers geospatial advisories, performs time‑space collision detection, and pushes data to consumer apps like Aloft (pulls every 24 hours) while integrating FAA data. The codebase is 25,000 lines of Clojure/ClojureScript, runs as microservices with multiple databases and messaging, shares ~87% code via polylith bases, and uses reagent/re-frame for UIs plus babashka-driven monorepo builds. Three GUIs exist (SPA, web app, mobile) and the advisory CRUD, stacking, and reporting features are production working.
