SRE, Dad & Golang enthusiast

Hi 👋, I’m Bastien Dronneau.

I build systems that scale up, host applications, catch fires, and keep them running idempotently.

I grew up racking Windows servers, then scaling static VMs, then embracing immutable infrastructure — and now running production on Kubernetes with a TON of YAML.

Welcome to the changelog of my life.
