151: Peeking inside the Livebook
Thinking Elixir Podcast
How to Deploy Live Book Apps
The primary use case for apps was exactly like internal tooling and also demo applications. We are working on features that would expand apps so that you can support those kind of use cases as well. If you deploy a live book, you can totally just play around in the cloud and not worry about the resources. And the better part is that you can easily configure the hardware. So if you need a GPU to do some machine learning workflows, you can just change the hardware to have a GPUs.
Recently Livebook had its first launch week. We met with Jonatan Kłosko, the developer behind most of the exciting new features, to learn what some of these additions are, how they actually work and what's coming with the new Teams feature. Jonatan shares some of his favorite unsung features and where the new apps ability may go in the future. Livebook is an important community project and it's fun getting a deeper look inside!
