Caching and performance deep dive - A practical approach
Fabianx
Drupal 8 has the most advanced caching system of any CMS out there right now. This leads to many opportunities to create the fastest Drupal sites ever and easily cache content directly at the edge, but there is also many challenges, problems and learning curves to overcome. This session wants to provide every participant with the tools and knowledge via practical exercises to understand caching and performance optimization deeply.
The session also wants to teach via a practical approach what the fundamentals of Performance are, so that everyone is empowered to improve the Performance of their sites so that we can finally have a fast web!
It is an absolute beginner session, but will show concepts and patterns that can help everyone that is interested in learning more about the caching mindset.
The session outline will roughly be:
- What is caching?
- What should you cache?
- Where should you cache?
- Common Caching Problems
- Caching Beyond Drupal
