[Bug] Black panel after "restart" next day ยท Issue #698 ยท devoxx/DevoxxGenieIDEAPlugin
When I open my IDEA again the next day I sometimes see just a black screen in the JCEF browser. Restarting the IDEA fixes the issue.

@kevindubois.com it would be great to discuss about the architecture in Antwerp and see where we can make it better!! ๐Ÿ˜

Plus, the heavy load lasts ~30s or less, so IMO adding pod autoscaling into the mix could do more harm than good, as the database would become the bottleneck...

Since the work is mostly done by the database (see ticketguy.dev/blogs/2023-0..., old but still relevant), we usually need 4-5 pods distributed among the k8s cluster nodes, as Alf.io works reasonably well with moderate resources (1/2)

Feedback from one of our project leads at #Hack.Commit.Push

Weโ€™d like to run HCP at HSLU Rotkreuz again next year, perhaps with two additional locations across Switzerland.

Of course HCP Paris will be back again. Stay tuned!

Open Source FTW!
