Decoupled Summit - SOLD OUT

This Summit has sold out.  We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Decoupling your rendering layer from Drupal’s backend has become increasingly popular, and the community has embraced the approach for numerous use cases. In the first ever Decoupled Summit at DrupalCon, we will come together for a full day to share our experiences building decoupled projects and discuss ways we can improve the toolset and lower the barriers.

The API-first initiative has helped mature options for exposing your Drupal content, from core’s REST module to the JSON API and GraphQL contrib modules. In the last year the community has also created several decoupled distributions like Contenta, Reservoir and Decoupled Lightning, lowering the barriers and helping to establish best practices. With exploration underway to move a modern JavaScript framework into Drupal core and migrate the editorial experience onto it, there has never been a better time to collaborate with others and share our experiences building decoupled projects.

Who Should Attend?

Whether your organization already has decoupled sites in production, you’re interested in getting involved in the core initiative, or your team is considering a decoupled build and looking for tips, the Decoupled Summit will be an excellent way to connect with peers heading down the same path.
