Scaling LiveView for low latency in multiple regions

In LiveView you need roundtrips on each UI state change (if you live up to the promise of not writing JS code), that’s why latency is a bigger issue in LiveView comparing to standard React apps.

Imo this is not really a promise LiveView tries to make, exactly for that reason. It’s always been marketed to solve (primarily) those problems, where the server needs to be involved anyways. As mentioned before there is overlap (e.g. in pagination), but generally one should use client side tooling for purely client side interactions. Nobody wants latency in opening dropdowns or simple accordions.
