Impact of using LiveView in a cloud environment
Hi,
I am looking at the possibility of using LiveView in my application. Just wanted to understand the impact of LiveView (in terms of cost) for adopting in a cloud environment. In general the cloud vendors (i am looking at AWS) charge the network IO based on number of network calls and the amount of data transferred. In such a case, where Liveview constantly performs network IO from server to client, I am trying to understand if my monthly bill grows multiple folds.
Thank you.
Regards,
Chaitanya.

This is only sort of accurate. Live view performs network IO when there are changes to be made, and it pushes only those changes.
More importantly though, network IO is routinely one of the absolute cheapest parts of your cloud infrastructure, at least if the majority of your traffic is HTML. If you’re moving terabytes of data, then yeah, it can start getting expensive, but you could multiply most people’s bandwidth by a factor of 10 and it still wouldn’t be an issue.

While I cannot directly address your question I can point to this tweet, that I came across this morning:
Rewrote an
#AWS APIGateway &#lambda service that was costing us about $16000 / month in#elixir . Its running in 3 nodes that cost us about $150 / month. 12 million requests / hour with sub-second latency, ~300GB of throughput / day.
