Really good tradeoffs scales shared by @doctolib.bsky.social at #PlatformCon on how they built their platform to enable shipping micro services to break away from their monolith. Super mature! This is everything I wish people building platforms would discuss and make explicit on their strategy.

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 24/09/2026

On point summary on migrations approach by Serhii at #PlatformCon - going stage by stage across the services rather than each service one by one Loved the following quote : "More people on the same [migration] model scale the model's inefficiency and hide it"

Great talk by Fahed Dorgaa at the #PlatformCon live Paris on CVEs impact analysis with context and LLMs thanks to github.com/venslabs/vens ! Really interesting, turning massive list of CVEs from artifacts into specialized insights Aldo, thanks to him for maintaining nerdctl which I use daily 🙏

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 24/09/2026

Always a pleasure to see @juhnny5.bsky.social on stage :) Explaining today at #PlatformCom how the Restos du Coeur built their own AI tooling from refurbished hardware & open source ❤️ vLLM & Envoy AI Gateway helping a long way on top of other Cloud du Coeur nase blocks, up to LibreChat and more!

Second year of #PlatformCon live in Paris hosted by @wescale.bsky.social , and this 2026 edition agenda is filled with AI, with Luca Galante and Manuel Pais opening the atage It's only 10AM and I already took the laptop out of my bas to check something with a Kyverno maintainer :D

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 26/06/2026

And that's a wrap for this edition of @breizhcamp.org ! Thanks so much to the organizing team, this conference is definitely one of the best we have in France. Super interesting talks all across the agenda, super friendly vibe, sponsors tagging along the theme with creative games, nice food... ❤️

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 26/06/2026

Wrapping up this @breizhcamp.org with Nicolas De Loof on sandboxing with microVMs through github.com/containerd/n... Let's see what's new with the OCI runtime spec Implementations ! Can be especially interesting to sandbox agents more than just Docker which is already useful for that purpose

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 26/06/2026

And now: ethical decisions at @breizhcamp.org Props to the speakers for providing a written script of the talk (docs.proton.me/doc?mode=ope...) right from the start so visually or earing impaires people have an easier tome folloIng along - @sestegra.bsky.social and bis KCCNC talk would be proue!

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 26/06/2026

Now @nledez.fr at @breizhcamp.org on how AI helped him reduce the carbon footprint of github.com/cgwire/zou CI Appreciate the early disclaimer of what the talk will _not_ discuss. I should do that more in my own talks instead of always trying to cram everything together.

111

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 26/06/2026

Last day of @breizhcamp.org opening with a keynote by Karine Sabatier on Enshittification - great followup to @julientopcu.com closing yesterday with Tech & Pop Culture ! Let's see if there's some light at the end of the tunnel to escape the platform effect somehow.

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 25/06/2026

Missed my talk today at @breizhcamp.org about policies-as-code, their role in steering organizations (engineering) practices, and how they can bring more explicitness than feeling only ? While waiting for the recording, here is the content (in 🇫🇷) I presented:

Arrêtez le “feeling” : pilotez vos pratiques avec des policies — BreizhCamp 2026 (2026-06-25)

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 25/06/2026

Early this morning at @breizhcamp.org to benefit from the morning fresh air (relatively speaking...) for a last dry run of the talk I'll present this afternoon : Stop with the feeling, steer your organization with policies ! Hopefully the demo will go fine, my laptop essentially died 2 days ago 🙈

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 24/06/2026

Props to @klf37.bsky.social at @breizhcamp.org for an incredibly complete, interesting and smoothly delivered talk about improving devs & ops experience by considering them with the same care as end users/clients! Didn't even take notes given how engaging it was. Make sure to catch the recording!

120

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 24/06/2026

Folks from @wescale.bsky.social talking at @breizhcamp.org , and it's about SecNumCloud and admin devices ? Of course I'm in! Go go Chris Navas & David Gandra, with a real life feedback from NumSpot Let's enjoy the thousands-lines-long rules spreadsheets checks VS actual implementation 😄

121

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 24/06/2026

Second talk of the day at @breizhcamp.org : Daria Hervieux and Mailya Bogrova on passwordless UX. Seeing how badly identification flows are often implemented, can't wait to have some useful tips to share! TIL we know fingerprints identification since 1880

100

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 24/06/2026

Room is _packed_ for this very first talk at @breizhcamp.org 2026! And it's no surprise given the topic: loving development at the AI era Props to the conference organizing team: they have done a _ton_ across the board to help survive the heat wave. Let's see how far we can make it without melting!

In 20min I'll have the pleasure to kickstart the @tech-fest.dev conf in Nancy, with a lot of "first times": family member in the audience, opening of the conference, close to home, and... having to leave before the end of the day. Hope my talk on incidents and burning things will warm up the room!

La veille de Tech F'Est, c'est aussi ça : une grande tablée, des speakers et des orgas, à refaire le monde entre deux plats Demain on vous retrouve à Nancy pour la conf. On est prêt.

Photo d'un repas de groupe dans un restaurant chaleureux aux murs clairs et à la décoration végétale. Une quinzaine de personnes sont assises autour d'une longue table rectangulaire dressée avec des assiettes, couverts et bouteilles. Les convives, mixtes, sourient et regardent pour la plupart vers l'objectif. Les plats sont servis. L'ambiance est festive et détendue.

i wrote a post about the growing divide between AI skeptics and AI enthusiasts. wins and costs are both real, but too often fall on different groups of people. when you're only experiencing half the story, it's too easy to write each other off. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-enthusi...

charitydotwtf.substack.com

AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy

Both sides are grappling with a real existential threat, and both sides feel like they are screaming into the void. Here's how to close the gap and get everyone pulling in the same direction.

Cloudflare’s response to the “Copy Fail” Linux vulnerability is where runtime security is heading 🐝 Instead of waiting for a full fleet-wide reboot cycle to roll out patched kernels across hundreds of cities, they deployed an eBPF program as a live mitigation.

We hired a junior developer to write the simple code, so we don't have to spend a ton of money on tokens for those basic/primitive tasks

Great, so now we're optimizing LLM costs by inventing employees again.

The @fusionauth.io team has invited me to dig into the details of my generative AI skepticism, which extends to agentic AI. I'm more pragmatic than some people think, but I gotta push back on AI agents for everything, and burning tokens at alter of Artificial Intelligence.

I've left that notification from @shykes.bsky.social unread for the past 2 weeks because I'm amazed that I've apparently been part of the " @rust-lang.org lovers" group on the @dagger.io Discord 😄 Likely joined it during the Dagger Hack Night at the #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon 2025 & forgot, love it!

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

And now... Let's present live at the #AWSSummit on scene (16:45, Amphi Havane) how we at @payfiteng.bsky.social moved from our pure EC2+Kubernetes infrastructure to managed/serverless services Spoiler: our talk start with a dialog that has been titled "Cringe script". It's gonna be fun!

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Just contributed to a podcast for the first time ever - live today during the #AWSSummit with @sebsto.bsky.social 's AWS 🇫🇷 podcast ♥ Great experience! You'll be able to listen to itin ~June, talking about our journey at @payfiteng.bsky.social from Kubernetes on EC2 to managed/serverless services :)

On @awscloud.bsky.social core infrastructures pieces at the #AWSSummit We really gotta switch to Graviton someday at @payfiteng.bsky.social Hey, the keynote is spoiling our AWS Lambda durable functions mention in our talk this afternoon 😂 (16:45, Amphi. Havane, be there!)

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Now on @awscloud.bsky.social frontier agents at #AWSSummit : - Kiro (preview) - Security agent (GA) - Reminder: Security has to be built-in at every single software development step - DevOps Agent (GA) - about which I shared concrete feedback from ZenChef here yesterday: bsky.app/profile/horg...

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Let's see what end users have to share at the #AWSSummit , with Canal+ CTO keynote Their challenges: - Massive spikes with large volumes (e.g. sport matches) - Content Ingestion from multiple sub-companies (formats and volumes) - Overall growth over years

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Interesting focus on isolation with Nitro at the #AWSSummit Put into light on the prism (haha) of digital sovereignty. Without much concrete bits though, mostly generic "it's important" I gotta admit I prefered the vibe of the #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon last week when it comes to that topic

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Here we go, let's the IA game start (with coffee) At least, investment in IA isn't the blocker I guess

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Courageous claim at the #AWSSummit : 100% availability of the Paris region over the past 8 years. I guess it all depends on which service you look at 😅 But yeah, overall it's well more stable than many other options, and we're happy about it at @payfiteng.bsky.social :) 20 year of AWS already !

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

Let's go for the keynotes of this #AWSSummit Paris 2026 - which will likely be re:Intent repeat. The room is packed, lots of friends By the way, if you're brave you can try a drinking game: drink everytime someone says "AI" during a talk. Guarantee you'll get wasted before the end of the keynotes!

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 01/04/2026

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...

051

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 31/03/2026

Go go @mcorbin.bsky.social, now talking at the @awscloud.bsky.social event on AIOps & Resilience About GenAI, from his standpoint in the Qonto "AI Labs". Pretty sure it will be useful learning to us at @payfiteng.bsky.social :) Wish I could share pictures, but notes only it will be!

111

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 31/03/2026

Second talk of the @awscloud.bsky.social AIOps & Resilience event: La Central on their Disaster Recovery practices, through their "Simulation Day", during why they try to rebuild everything in 8 hours. The AWS GameDays were a direct inspiration for that - and we also have these at PayFit!

100

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 31/03/2026

Starting with Bureau Veritas sharing on their resiliency pillars: - Infrastructure-as-Code - Architecture - Backups along with the control mechanisms they have in place for these. "Backups working or not is what gets a CTO fired" - no wonder why we focused on that lately at @payfiteng.bsky.social

100

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 31/03/2026

Today, I'm at @awscloud.bsky.social office for an event about AIOps & Resilience The reason I joined today: @mcorbin.bsky.social is talking about what they're doing at Qonto :) (And also rehearsing my own AWS Summit talk) Not allowed to shared photos here, but written notes are OK, so here we go!
