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 🙏

Second year of #PlatformCon in Paris by @wescale.bsky.social , second year of @payfiteng.bsky.social talking! And this year, it is Pablo, pour Platform Engineering Director, talking about securing platforms in the AI era :)

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

Crash-cours-reminder on VirtIO :D OK and gVisor for the network part. Love the iNerdBox mplementation, it's really nice in its approach and stacked optimizations Definitely going to give it a try at home :) Also: www.docker.com/products/doc...

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

Remind me about my talk on Docker standardization years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH94... Never heard about EROFS before though, glad I picked that talk despite my familiarity with the topic! erofs.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/ Same for libkrun :o github.com/libkrun/libk...

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

On reducing the version matrix test: check for all Python versions with the latest PostgreSQL version, and all PostgreSQL versions for stable Python, instead of every combination. Nice middle ground! Reals gains in the end, and GitHub considering the project's CI friendly enough for scheduling

000

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

Claude first low effort improvement suhgestions TIL about GitHub Actions services (I'm not using GitHub Actions that much fwiw) docs.github.com/en/actions/t... Crazy that simple token reuse had so much impact on CI duration!

100

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

On 60min CI (20min wait and 40min duration) being painful: "We're qn open-source projet son GitHub Actions are créé, which helped us avoiding opimtomizations, which is a problem in itself' Also, GitHub prioritize your runs lower if they're heavy.

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

Wrapping up with some reading recommendation

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

Super happy to see @aeris.eu.org incredible work with bonjourlafuite.eu.org being showcased here at a @breizhcamp.org keynote ! That has been one of the corner pieces in the discussions with non-tech friends and family.

112

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

Didn't know about www.echirolles.fr/territoire-n... being so engaged in tech sovereignty Also discovered eurostack.eu

100

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

Yes on paying for the tools you use - which also includes donating to the FOSS software you use on my opinion! And on being careful with vanity metrics on what _we_ code and ship.

100

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

On code neutrality, I strongly suggest everyone in tech watching @at.bortzmeyer.fr keynote from a few years ago at @touraine.tech : www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tHw... Loved it live, and more meaningful than ever

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

"Consent must not be tied to contract execution if the personal data usage isn't strictly necessary for the contract" - Thanks GDPR even if usually largely ignored (reach out tu @asso-purr.eu.org if you want to help change that I guess!)

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

So, what are our options and way out of this hell?

100

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

Welp, nothing new or surprising, but always a good reminder to share. And thanks to @laquadrature.bsky.social for fighting in France! This is your nudge to donate to them, or the EFF if in the US.

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

Of all the tech companies, I wouldn't have thought of AirBnB for being so much subsidized: existed since 2008, profitable since 2023. Never saw the "adversarial interoperability" wording before, that's a pretty good and explicit description coined here!

100

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.

121

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 🙈

110

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

Last advices from our dear speakers Great talk on an uncommon topic, congrats @wescale.bsky.social and NumSpot !

110

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

Interesting to learn more about how policies-as-code can help auditing anything, including the practices shared during this talk? I'll talk about it tomorrow at @breizhcamp.org at 17:30 😉

110

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

In practice: - BIOS / UEFI hardening (locks, disables, encryption, etc) - Proper mounts (noexec, nosuid, nodev) - Firewalling - systemd-homed for user data persistence (that image 😂) - Observability (logs)

LOVE the approach. Live-reviewed ("4 eyes ceremony") image construction, then installed through PXE. No internet-connected end devices, 30min rollout of a change with full rebuild+re-image: quite efficient! And CPE files to audit CVEs without agents or connectivity.

110

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 😄

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

Juste learnt about CXP - fidoalliance.org/specs/cx/cxp...

Still a long way to go for passwords, even if passkeys are globally considered both more secure and more usable. Let's dive deeper into this.

100

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

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

While that seems a perfectly logical consequence, seeing real proof of de-skilling including in medicine is kinda scary? Especially if you end up doubting your own judgment versus the machine even when you're right. Real question: if it works at 90℅, is it enough? I guess it all depends on context

000

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

Quite a few hands raised to the "Who loves their job _less_ since AI arrived?" question.

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!

100

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 12/06/2026

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!

002

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 16/04/2026

Yay, de même ici ☺️ J'ai vraiment trop hâte de présenter le talk sur les "(platform) policies", première fois qu'il est sélectionné et le sujet me botte vraiment ! J'ai oublié les CFP du DevLille et de SunnyTech par contre 😢 On se voit au @breizhcamp.org en tout cas o/

120

Alexis "Horgix" Chotard @horgix.fr · 07/04/2026

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!

000

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!

110

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 :)

041

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

Indeed, it's hard for many people and companies to navigate the numerous regulations. And they're trying to help with that by building regulations helpers on on AWS AIRI (yet another of the super specific AWS services I didn't know about!) Also trying to ease IA compliance

000

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

Advocating for a more structure/cataloged dataset in S3 - including as a way for agents to discover and use data. S3 was already truly a beast, but it still evolved so much over the past couple years

000

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

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!)

100

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

On becoming "cloud native builders": Trainings and certification, and build projects around trainings (i.e. train different profiles together to enable a given project and build relationships beforehand)

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
