Hey, I’m François Petitit - a French resident with extensive experience in software development and a wide range of passions (•‿•)

Currently, I work as a senior consultant at OCTO Technology, an extraordinary IT consultancy company, in Paris, France.

Previously, I worked as a co-founder CTO of an innovative property management company : Owwner.

Before that, I spent several years as a senior Web developer at La Ruche qui dit Oui! a great ethical and fair trade e-commerce platform.

And even before that, I started my career at OCTO Technology, as a consultant and leader of the front-end Web architecture tribe.

My main interests are web development and product design.

I hope you find something of interest by reading my articles. Don’t hesitate to leave me a message to start the conversation !

European Union Vulnerability Database

L’Union Européenne a pris une décision importante dans le champ de la cybersecurity avec le lancement de l’EU Vulnerability Database (EUVD), disponible sur ce site : https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/. Développé par l’Agence de l’UE pour la Cybersécurité (ENISA), l’EUVD est censé être désormais le dépôt officiel de l’UE pour les failles de sécurité connues et les moyens de remédiation.

PaaS Versus Serverless

Demystifying the Cloud: Comparing PaaS and Serverless Architecture

In the ever-evolving landscape of Cloud computing, two terms have become fundamental pillars: Platform as a Service (PaaS) and serverless architectures. As the technological landscape continues to diversify, it’s crucial to understand the nuances between these two approaches, along with the benefits and drawbacks they offer. To illustrate this, we’ll take Heroku as an example of PaaS and Amazon Web Services Lambda as an example of serverless architecture.

IA - the Beginning of the End of the Party ?

I learned this morning that Stability AI, the company that develops and operates the Stable Diffusion image generator, is in financial trouble:

On the face of it, the reason is simple: to generate images via AI, you need a lot of calculations, and therefore a lot of GPUs. And that’s expensive. Very expensive: $99 million per year, according to the article. And generative AI, which can generate images and videos, currently generates very little revenue. 11 million, according to the article. And not enough funds have been raised.

Writing a New Blog With Hugo

As you can see from this post, I’ve just launched a new blog.

It already includes a few old articles published elsewhere, here and there, and I’ll try to publish new ones regularly.

But let’s get technical !

This blog has been developed using the following tools:

There are a huge number of blog generation tools available. For example, I used Jekyll for a long time for similar purposes. I’m also inevitably thinking of Wordpress, which is heavy and complex but still a potential alternative, and which still adds a lot of possibilities.

Dans la partie 1 de cet article, nous avons traité des nouvelles architectures front-end basées sur des applications Web massivement Javascript appelant des API offertes par un serveur back-end : les nouvelles architectures front Web et leur impact sur les DSI - Partie 1.

Nous avons vu qu’elles sont apparues ces dernières années grâce à l’augmentation des performances des navigateurs et à l’amélioration des outils d’industrialisation des développements Javascript.

Les applications Web évoluent. Depuis les premiers sites en HTML statique jusqu’aux applications AJAX de ces dernières années, en passant par les multiples technologies de sites Web dynamiques (PHP, ASP, Java, Rails…), les architectures applicatives et les outils pour les mettre en place connaissent régulièrement des avancées majeures et des points de ruptures.
