LiveView and Flame Discussion with Chris McCord

The sixty-sixth episode of Beam Radio features a conversation with Chris McCord, who is best known for his work on Phoenix LiveView in the Elixir community. The hosts, Lars, Sophie, and Steven alongside McCord, engage in a discussion about the LiveView technology and a new project called Flame. They cover the challenges faced by serverless architectures and explore Flame's approach to auto-scaling applications by wrapping any existing app code in a function. This method allows the code to run in a temporary copy of the app, suggesting a novel take on serverless deployment and resource management within the Elixir ecosystem. To supplement the discussion, they provide resources for further exploration, including a blog post and a video presentation by McCord. The hosts also mention Bruce's new book 'Currently Away' about The Great Loop and encourage listeners to connect with them through Twitter or Mastodon.
