I currently work in one of the top global incumbent company in the elevator market in R&D software.

I would have never thought there were so many challenges behind a car moving up & down.

besilon How we got to LiveView

Only if you want to go with LiveView. For Django, as I’m a Python dev too, I’m going with htmx+alpinejs. Or you can choose the Hotwire stack (Turbo+stimulus)
