PayFit Engineering

Missed my talk today at @breizhcamp.org about Diátaxis applied to platform documentation (theory + experience feedback from @payfiteng.bsky.social) ?

While waiting for the recording, here's the content (in 🇫🇷) I presented: s.42l.fr/breizhcamp20...

25min was short, so shoot questions here on Bsky 🙂

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 !

Missed our (@horgix.fr @kobaye.bsky.social @luski.bsky.social) 3 hours deep-dive talk today at @devoxx.fr about incidents management from 0 to Hero, including our very own PayFit real life feedback?

While waiting for the recording, here is the content (in 🇫🇷) I presented:

Day 2 of @devoxx.fr ! You want to have fun with an incident severity wheel and discover how the hell we were able to fit a "poulposaure" in our 3 hours-long talk about incident management (& learn from @payfiteng.bsky.social XP) ? Come and see us in at 13:30 ☺️
→ mobile.devoxx.com/events/devox...

What an absolutely packed room for Alexandre Pineau (PayFit) and Charline Boulie (AWS) at the #AWS #Summit Paris for their talk about @payfiteng.bsky.social's "Copilot" AI feature! Talking about our RAG implementation leveraging AWS Bedrock to provide meaningful answers to customers 🚀

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 ;)

Here we go for the greatest time of the year since 2018: the #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon Europe, happening in London for this 2025 edition! I'll live share here during 4 days

Again attending with colleagues thanks to @payfiteng.bsky.social 🙂 Come say Hi if you cross our path - and we're hiring btw 😉

Real solutions for real problems. No perfect answers, just practical ones.

Ooooohh YES, I'm super honored of having been selected to present a Deep Dive (3 hours!) about incident management at @devoxxfr.bsky.social this year - along with my dear colleagues @kobaye.bsky.social & Luc Chmielowski as co-speakers! 🎉 We'll be able to share soooo many things in that format ☺️

It's in French, but if you are interested into a transition from hell to Monorepo, give it a listen!

A 🇬🇧 talk is on the way too... 😉

"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!

"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 !
