Arnaud Thorel

Arnaud Thorel

12 ans d’architecture logicielle, 25 ans de code passionné, et quelques centaines de milliers de lignes de code plus tard…

Arnaud en a vu des belles, des monolithes de 3 millions de lignes, les microservices qui deviennent des nano services, des projets multiformes avec tous les buzzWord, et les configurations Spring Boot copiées-collées dans + de 50 projets.

Aujourd’hui architecte chez Ouest-France, après plusieurs années à conseiller en ESN, il a une mission : standardiser, simplifier et éviter les migraines aux développeurs.

Dans son parcours, il a joué avec :

Les microservices – Avant que ça devienne un buzzword incontournable.
L’IoT – Quand connecter et piloter des objets connectés depuis son smartphone relevait encore du défi technique.
L’API Management – Parce qu’avoir 50 micro services sans les exposer proprement, c’est juste du chaos.

Aujourd’hui, il vous raconte comment il a mis fin au copier-coller en créant des Starters Spring Boot sur mesure. Une approche qui accélère les développements, impose des bonnes pratiques sans douleur, et évite bien des incompréhensions dans la construction de ses projets.

Si vous aussi, vous voulez industrialiser vos projets sans sacrifier votre santé mentale, cette session est faite pour vous ! 🎤🔥
