   Rethinking Serverless with FLAME

   FLAME is a pattern for elastically scaling applications without the need to manage servers or rewrite the entire application. It allows you to wrap existing app code in a function and run it in a temporary copy of your app. FLAME can be implemented in different languages, but the Elixir flame library is specifically mentioned in the article. The library includes features like process placement and remote monitoring to handle pool scale-up and scale-down logic and to optimize resource usage. FLAME removes the complexities and layers of communication associated with traditional FaaS solutions.
