Session Schedule

Large organisations - governments, universities, multinational corporations, etc - have always run fleets of web sites. However, these are often on disparate platforms, maintained by disparate individuals and agencies.

At this workshop we will teach attendees how to use Gander, Drupal’s new performance testing framework. We will teach how to write performance tests and how to improve existing PHPUnit tests with performance related assertions.

Typed Data API still remains quite a mystery for many. We need to get familiar with it in order to really know how entity data is modeled. In this session I'm going to get to the bottom of it, so please fasten your seatbelts and be ready to understand it. Finally...

In this session, we would like to share with you the secrets and strategies behind building a Drupal platform on Google Kubernetes Engine in our real example.

Bundle classes are PHP classes that define the structure and behavior of an entity bundle. Bundle classes in Drupal can help to separate logic and reduce coupling between modules by providing a centralized location for entity-related code.

Take a tip and bookmark packed dive through the vast landscape of interactive mapping sofware via tales of mapping seabirds, seals, sharks, trees, bears and more, and learn how far too many housecats almost put this developer off Drupal for life.

Unlock the mysteries of Drupal cache woes with our Developer Debugging Toolkit! Dive into practical techniques that'll empower you to conquer cache issues and turbocharge your site's performance.

The UI Patterns community has large experience in building component-based Drupal solutions. We rethink UI Patterns to build a flexible and straightforward no-code solution on top of SDC to make it easy for site builders to bring the data to the components.
