I think you are not getting a lot of replies because a question about generic "services" leaves the design space way too large. The choice of webserver and especially the database are going to depend strongly on the required throughput, latency, access patterns, lots of other things I'm not thinking of...
I *would* look into pedestal and datomic, but just because they are nice pieces of software with interesting design decisions. I *would not* recommend building your first service with them (unless you look at them and decide they are exactly what you need). My 2 cents on writing your first service (possibly throwaway): Webserver: Use plain ring + compojure + whatever servlet container you have now and know how to manage (Tomcat & Jetty work fine) Database: Whatever database you have now and know how to manage and is pleasant for your type of data (clients exist for JDBC and almost all noSQL stores) The above is fine if "REST" in your case translates to "CRUD + some querying." If you want to design a more thorough and careful REST architecture, Liberator will probably be of interest. If you know your service will need work queues and distributed caches and such, you might want to use Immutant as a platform to prototype, as it wraps all that up with a nice bow for you. And again, if you narrow the design space somewhat, many people way more informed than me will probably chime in.
