Chris McCord Introduces FLAME for Phoenix in Thinking Elixir Podcast

In Episode 181 of the Thinking Elixir Podcast, Chris McCord joins the hosts to discuss a novel serverless pattern called FLAME (Fleeting Lambda Application for Modular Execution) which integrates with the Phoenix framework. FLAME represents a shift in serverless computing within the Elixir ecosystem, aiming to enhance the developer experience and offer seamless scalability for applications. Chris McCord explains how FLAME differentiates itself from standard job queue systems and provides the ability to implement other backends, including Kubernetes support. Additionally, the FLAME pattern is not exclusive to Elixir and Phoenix; it can be adopted in other programming languages and frameworks. The podcast also explores Elixir community news, such as the announcement of LiveView Native beta, usage of machine learning in Elixir apps, and security tools tailored for Elixir applications.
