Welcome to the Linagora engineering blog

The very first post. Why we're starting this blog, what you'll find here, and how to contribute.

LE Linagora Engineering Équipe d'ingénierie Linagora

Welcome! You’re reading the very first post of the Linagora engineering blog. On the menu: lessons learned, code deep dives, architectural decisions, and everything we want to share around open source.

Why a blog?

We write a lot of code. We learn from what we build, sometimes painfully. The problem: those lessons usually stay confined to a Slack thread or a commit message no one will ever re-read. This blog is our attempt to make visible what actually happens behind the scenes.

What you’ll find here

  • Technical articles about the languages, frameworks and patterns we use every day.
  • War stories from real projects: what worked, what blew up, and why.
  • Open source reflections — digital sovereignty, open collaboration, sustainable business models.
  • In-house tools that we release under open source licenses.

A code sample

Just to make sure syntax highlighting works:

// A small helper that formats a date for a given locale
export function formatDate(date: Date, lang: 'fr' | 'en'): string {
  return new Intl.DateTimeFormat(lang === 'fr' ? 'fr-FR' : 'en-US', {
    year: 'numeric',
    month: 'long',
    day: 'numeric',
  }).format(date);
}

How to contribute

This blog is open source. If you work at Linagora and have something to share, it’s straightforward:

  1. Fork the repository on GitHub.
  2. Create a branch.
  3. Add your article under src/content/posts/<slug>.en.md (and ideally <slug>.fr.md for the French version).
  4. Open a Pull Request.

The full guide lives in the repository’s README.md.
