Sous le capot de Bluesky : comprendre l'ATProto
Summary
This French article by Quentin JOLY provides a deep dive into ATProto and Bluesky, explaining how the protocol enables decentralized social networks and how Bluesky fits as an app on top of ATProto. It covers identity architecture (handle, DID, PDS), repository design with a Merkle Search Tree, signed commits, CAR exports, and zero trust verification of records and blobs. The piece walks through deploying a personal PDS on Kubernetes, creating accounts, writing posts, and notarizing content with Notary, illustrating federation and governance implications for the Bluesky ecosystem.
