From 0 to Drupal in Infinity Seconds

Why can you build dang near anything with Drupal in no time at all, and yet you can’t spin up a simple website in a week. Why are the first half of sprint demos full of showing off configurations and scaffolded code, when the second half is finally a flurry of demonstrative progress? If you do things right (Docker, Pattern Lab, editorial workflow, CI/CD), why does it take forever to build the simplest thing?

This session will examine ways of reducing minimum complexity of Drupal projects in a way that reaps all the benefits of Drupal without languishing in a sea of build tool maintenance and technological constraints.

We will explore ways to simplify your next Drupal project, including:

  • Building a starter kit
  • Sprint Zero tasks
  • Pain-free local dev setup
  • Config quick start
  • Workflows and scripts to automate stuff to move faster…
  • Identifying what you need (and don’t need) in your toolkit, based on the size and scale of your project
