I think the thing here is less about managing access to the remote server and more about how to not block your liveview processes whether you’re directly pinging the remote endpoint or whether it goes through a genserver.
@dantswain this is a good question! We’ve done basically the same thing (I think we use a task but same idea) and it definitely is a challenge for testing. I think our solution involved setting an assign which controlled whether it was done sync or async, and then in the tests we set that assign to sync. Definitely an area that could use some slightly more ergonomic patterns though!
