## [Pour brings WCAG audits from the browser into CI](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/pour-brings-wcag-audits-from-the-browser-into-ci>)

Pour brings together a browser extension, a CLI, a VS Code extension and a contrast checker to assess accessibility against WCAG 2.2. Audits identify affected elements and explain fixes; criteria that require human judgment are marked for review.

The CLI can fail a CI step when it finds issues, generate an HTML report for a site, and expose tools to an agent through MCP. Automated checks assist with 51 of the 86 WCAG 2.2 criteria without claiming to determine compliance: a checklist accompanies the findings to support manual review.

## [PGX: disposable PostgreSQL databases for agents and tests](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/pgx-disposable-postgresql-databases-for-agents-and-tests>)

PGX runs isolated PostgreSQL databases inside a single Rust runtime, targeting short-lived agent, CI, and test environments. On-demand creation from a sealed template and copy-on-write on ZFS reduce the cost of branching; without block cloning, the system makes a full copy.

The project is at **v0.1.0** and targets disposable databases, not production data: `fsync` is disabled, and one runtime is a single failure domain. Its benchmarks document their measurements and conditions; the PostgreSQL regression suite reports zero result differences in the stated configuration, without claiming general compatibility.

## [Preview changes in an Argo CD deployment](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/preview-changes-in-an-argo-cd-deployment>)

The article examines manifest previews and diffs before a GitOps deployment. It helps teams understand the practical impact of Kubernetes changes beyond syntax validation.

## [Argo CD Autopilot: structure a GitOps repository](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/argo-cd-autopilot-structure-a-gitops-repository>)

Autopilot provides a repository structure and workflow for installing Argo CD and deploying applications. It also supports rebuilding a cluster from the desired state stored in Git.
