Attending the @awscloud.bsky.social Summit in Paris today ? If so, come and listen at 16:45 to @payfiteng.bsky.social journey on how we transitioned from a pure EC2/Kubernetes infrastructure to mostly managed (and serverless) services ! We may even have taken the Kaamelott theme a bit too far...

Interested to learn about Diátaxis (diataxis.fr) and how we applied it to our internal developer platform's doc (and more) at @payfiteng.bsky.social ? I'll be presenting it this afternoon at @breizhcamp.org at 17:35 in Amphi E, and I'll keep you awake for the last talk of the day !

Diátaxis is a widely-adopted, pragmatic and systematic approach to thinking about and creating documentation.

What a coincidence that the first talk I attend at #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon is by @hazelweakly.me about hiring platform engineers, given the number of interviews I've done for @payfiteng.bsky.social lately 😄 Lots of great things to keep in mind! See careers.payfit.com/jobs/5478335... by the way ;)

"Who in the audience runs the Kubernetes cluster autoscaler?" Happy I didn't have to raise a hand with colleagues in the room as we already switched to Karpenter at @payfiteng.bsky.social ! These specs definitely ring a bell 😉 Let's see how this leads to Argo Workflows! #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon

"The path toward figuring the right metadata and its value usually involve massive context changes across multiple tools. Your catalog won't be a good catalog if your engineers stride away from updating it because it's painful" Can relate with this Backstage experience at @payfiteng.bsky.social !
