Episode 66: Chris McCord and Flame
Show Notes:
In this episode, Lars, Sophie, Steven, and special guest Chris McCord discuss the concepts of LiveView and Flame. They explore the problem with serverless architectures and how Flame aims to provide a solution.
"Imagine if we could auto scale simply by wrapping any existing app code in a function and have that block of code run in a temporary copy of the app." Chris McCord
