Scaling Drupal to High Heavens

Drupal 8 is fast with Page Cache, and even faster with PHP 7. Let’s see how fast our applications run when we containerize Drupal and scale it up to high heavens!

Google Managed VMs support PHP 5.6 and PHP 7 runtimes. This means Drupal can run in an environment which automatically scales to address the growth of your application. Take advantage of technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX and load balancing, Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage.

We will discuss the pros and cons of running Drupal in the cloud, best practices for doing so, and how you can get your application running. This session is useful for anyone interested in getting a large PHP application running on a cloud provider.
