Le Devoxx est un événement incontournable pour les développeurs et les professionnels de la technologie, qui a eu lieu du 16 avril 2025 au 18 avril 2025 au Palais des Congrès de Paris.

Accessibility is at the heart of our concerns, at Bedrock Streaming we work hard to make our applications accessible to everyone. In this article, I’m going to share with you how my team and I improved our accessibility score of our SmartTV apps by 18% in just a few months! This improvement is even more impressive because on smartTV we have to manage several constraints, including taking into account the specificities of each device (Tizen, WebOS, Hisense, Panasonic, etc.).

One of the core experiences of a Bedrock app for the end user is browsing the catalog. Scrolling vertically through blocks of content, and scrolling horizontally through lists of items. However, TVs do not offer high performance and provide poor user experience during heavy resource actions. We especially noticed that scrolling horizontally in a list was laggy and unpleasant. This article focuses on performance optimization to enhance the horizontal scroll experience on Smart TVs.

Attending the Golab conference in Florence has been a thrilling experience for us as developers. Immersing ourselves in talks by some of the most brilliant minds in the Go community gave us a deeper understanding of advanced concepts, practical libraries, and the future of Go. We’ve summarized the key takeaways from the talks we attended to share some of the valuable lessons and fresh perspectives we gained.

During the UEFA Euro football cup in June and July 2024, M6 broadcasted several matches. Of course, this competition was available, live, on M6+. For every user joining right from the first second and or for all users hearing their neighbors shouting and wanting to re-watch the action, starting a live video stream had to work!

Nous avons eu la chance de participer à la conférence We love speed, une conférence annuelle axée sur la performance du web. C’est un domaine qui nous passionne et nous sommes très content d’avoir pu y assister. Le thème de cette édition, c’est l’INP. En effet, cette métrique de performance a été ajoutée aux core web vitals par Google récemment. L’objectif de cette métrique est de refléter l’expérience utilisateur en mesurant la réactivité d’une application. Elle observe le temps entre une action utilisateur et une réponse visuelle de notre interface.
