Decoupled Drupal in real life: lessons from JSON:API at scale
erin.rasmussen
With the introduction of Varnish Cache support for JSON:API, existing Drupal projects can leverage the strengths of fast caching systems like Varnish with minimal Drupal configuration. In this talk, we look at how well that works on live sites, and with high traffic.
We will focus on lessons learned from Drupal websites that use JSON:API 'at scale', which includes large traffic events. We’ll look at fully decoupled Drupal site; a site that uses data from external sources in a more conventional Drupal site, and a smaller Drupal site that serves content to a decoupled front end websites, and mobile applications.
None of these projects are perfect, so we'll be taking a look at which pieces of these projects were successful, and which areas could use some improvement. Intermediate level Javascript and/or Drupal experience is beneficial but not required.
