Hey all, I’m looking to get some general advice on how to wire up a bunch of Dynamic Supervised GenServers, named via the registry, to a LiveView frontend. I’d like them to be able to broadcast updates about what they are doing, and have the individual list members update.

I’m currently using Registry.select to get the list of servers, but I’m unsure about how to go about handling adding and removing new named Servers as they come up. I’d rather not put any of the data about these servers in the DB, as they are meant to be pretty ephemeral.

My gut feeling is I should have a separate GenServer that handles Subscriptions and the overarching state of the list that I can then use LiveView to call into/receive messages from. Would I use this GenServer to handle the creation/deletion of the child Servers? Use Monitors? This feels like I’m stepping on the toes of the Registry a bit? What happens when I want to cluster this?

Basically, this is the type of problem I want to solve generally using Elixir, and I don’t yet have enough experience to know the correct way to approach it.

Not looking for any detailed code just a bit of a discussion on how those with more experience would architect something like this.
