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.

Curious what's new in Rust 1.95.0? Check out this video of Cameron, Pete, and Tyler discussing the new release: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZlm...
By migrating our request handling layer to a Rust-based architecture called FL2, Cloudflare has increased its performance lead to 60% of the world’s top networks. https://cfl.re/41JCahk
Today, we are excited to introduce isitagentready.com — a new tool to help site owners understand how they can make their sites optimized for agents. https://cfl.re/4vCtgQj
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/
This conversation with @mattklein123.dev and @kelseyhightower.com echos a lot of the points we talked about with @markrussinovich.bsky.social on @fafo.fm
I’m glad more people are thinking about it

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!
OK apparently nobody at AWS rolled with the Kaamelott theme, we're kind of alone 😅
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!
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 :)
Dad jokes during this #AWSSummit keynotes:
- Works only in 🇫🇷: Qu'est-ce qui est mieux que l'inference? La deuxference
- Veolia using IA? So... Veol-IA ?
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
Another end-user on stage here at the #AWSSummit : Bureau Veritas, no
Already shared some super concrete insights into what they're doing here yesterday: bsky.app/profile/horg...
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
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!)
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...
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)
Why they picked @awscloud.bsky.social as their provider:
- Rich media services offering - yep, true, audio and video services of AWS are crazy good!
- Worldwide - given they're operating in many countries
- Scalability - in a given locality
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
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
Here we go, let's the IA game start (with coffee)
At least, investment in IA isn't the blocker I guess
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 !
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!
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...
From that point onward, he's looking to push adoption more toward software engineers so they can be more autonomous! <3
Also having a proactive automated trigger based on monitoring, hell yeah!
Great great talk and concrete cases, looks like we'll be looking into it more at @payfiteng.bsky.social!
Infrastructure hygiene is mandatory: tags, naming conventions, account structure, ... All of that really helps agents.
What he wish he knew earlier:
- Give a narrow time frame, as precise as possible - so it's more efficient
- Be specific to a given product/service in order to have a more targeted investigation
Also, Good prompt = good investigation
From that point, on to production after the successful QA investigation.
Manually configured because IaC wasn't supported yet - tradeoff temporarily accepted.
Design goal that is kept in mind: having a minimal footprint, and an opt-in approach.
The proof of concept was first sandbox, then to a product account with past investigations to see how it investigates, and finally in the main account and QA environment to evaluate behaviors in complex environments and actually troubleshoot.
