A Relaxed Replication API for Content Staging & Decoupled Drupal 8 Sites
For a long time we've been good at staging and synchronizing configuration with Features and lately with CMI for Drupal 8.
But how about content? Drupal is after all a content management system...
In this advanced session site builders will learn how to leverage the new Relaxed Web Services and Multiversion modules in various use cases:
- Content staging between different environments
- Content replication between a network of Drupal sites
- Content sync between decoupled systems, e.g. when using Drupal as a backend with browser-based databases like PouchDB
This session follows-up on the presentations made in Austin and Amsterdam back when these new modules were being built. But this time we are demonstrating the ready and fully-working solution in great detail!
You will leave this session with knowledge and a set of tools to use when tackling complex content workflow scenarios in the real world!
Code Sprint
This session will also be a great introduction to the topic for anyone interested in joining the Content Staging in Drupal 8 sprint that the presenter is hosting during the sprint days! Sign up on the sprint spreadsheet!
