Simulating Network Conditions in Phoenix LiveView Applications

Peter Ullrich's article explains the importance of simulating adverse network conditions such as latency, jitter, and package loss while developing Phoenix LiveView applications. He starts by highlighting the problem that developers typically test their apps under ideal conditions which are not representative of end-user environments. Ullrich then provides detailed steps to simulate latency using built-in functions in LiveView, and he offers a custom JavaScript solution for simulating jitter. Lastly, he covers how to simulate package loss using the 'dummynet' utility. By following these steps, developers can test and improve their application's resilience to poor network conditions.
