Replicating Drupal content with CouchDB, PouchDB, Hood.ie, mobile apps and more!

As part of the Google Summer of Code project this year, Abhishek Kumar built a PHP implementation of a very exciting HTTP replication protocol. With this replicator, you can bi-directionally replicate content between any system that implements the protocol, opening up new doors for very exciting integration possibilities!

In this session participants will learn how you can replicate content between Drupal 8, CouchDB, PouchDB and Hood.ie JS applications. If time permits, we will even show how to replicate content to and from a native mobile application!

In the second half of the session participants will learn how to install and set up the replicator to leverage it in your own projects. We will also cover how the replicator was architectured and built as a standalone Composer PHP library.
