If one wanted to learn LiveView today, what's the best resource to learn? Also, will there be improvements to the LiveView latency story (if it's even possible) when providing a service to a global audience? Thanks for all your work!

Someone else already mentioned this in a separate thread, but Pragmatic Studio's courses on Elixir and LiveView are outstanding. They're not free but they're worth the cost. You can get both for around $200 if you buy their Pro Bundle.

Non technical Fly.io founder here: LiveView and Elixir work very well distributed all over the world. Here's an example app I fumbled my way through to show it in action: https://liveview-counter.fly.dev/

"Non-technical Fly.io founder", who do you think you're kidding? You have more commits than me in the last week.

Haven't played around with Fly yet, but it seems amazingly well-suited to LiveView apps and y'all seem like great people in general. Is there a Fly solution for if someone needed a big swinging...database? I guess one fear is getting locked into Fly + LiveView given latency concerns with alternative hosting providers, but outgrowing Fly's database offerings.

Our Postgres is pretty great up to about 500GB. We'll be pushing that higher over the next year, but we have several customers using Crunchy Data (https://www.crunchydata.com/products/crunchy-bridge/) in conjunction with their Fly.io apps.

We intentionally give you super user access to your DBs so it's easy to migrate or spin up your own replicas. Our bet is that _most_ people won't outgrow our Postgres but having an escape hatch is still very comforting.

We previously worked on Compose.com. We, at least, understand how to manage huge databases when the time comes.

Sounds like customers are in good hands!

Will there be a simpler quick start deploy process for LiveView coming soon? (last I looked at the tutorial it seemed a little tedious compared to other languages/platforms)
