Can you handle growth? From scaling performant Drupal websites to scaling efficient Drupal development teams, the Performance and Scalability Summit is the place for developers, DevOps professionals, decision makers, and other technical stakeholders to plan for growth.

The Scaling Journey

Join us on a journey through the modern development workflow cycle, starting on a developer's computer, moving through CI and testing environments, and final deployment into production infrastructure. Our guides are experts from across the Drupal-sphere who want to show you the best tools and techniques in 2019.

  • Nate Lampton (Lullabot): - Performance Troubleshooting and Pitfalls
  • Josh Koenig - (Pantheon)  Comparing Infrastructure Performance

What To Expect

Expect to be involved! Each of these experts will be giving dynamic presentations that prompt you to discuss real-world problems with your peers. Speakers will be asking questions, creating discussion groups, and inviting you to take advantage of their expertise.

Expect to walk away with answers to your specific questions and new friends.
