I recommend simply embedding jetty and writing a -main function that uses run-jetty. Then you can just ship an uberjar out to deploy. You can also use `lein trampoline with-profile production run -m myapp.main` if you take care that the dependencies are resolved once on your CI server rather than each time the app is launched; see the end of `lein help tutorial` for details about that. You can generate a skeleton app using `lein new heroku myapp` that contains the needed -main function even if you're not deploying on Heroku. Another option is to generate an uberwar if you are familiar with the ecosystem around .war files already. But if not it's easy to just use jetty and treat a web application like you would any other Clojure app. -Phil
