"With 4.2 million page views per month, Le Temps is probably the largest website on Drupal 8" - Dries Buytaert

Months before the official release of Drupal 8, the Swiss online news industry underwent a transformation in its digital publishing operations. Thanks to a meticulously curated Drupal 8 distribution called NP8, online news sources: LeTemps.ch and Suedostschweiz.ch were enjoying better workflows, a 2.5x increase in performance, and higher Google search rankings.  All built on top of Platform.sh, the revolutionary PaaS, giving them the speed and agility to keep their fast-paced business online and relevant.

In this lightning talk - we’ll quickly cover the building blocks and discus:

• How Drupal 8 features available in NP8, such as cache tags, play a role in the massive performance increase.

• What the git-driven, PaaS Platform.sh will do to increase effiencey and scalability of your Drupal 8 (or any other PHP) application.
