Schnitzel
This sessions will lift the curtain of the biggest Decoupled Website that we run at Amazee.
It will cover:
- How we project is setup in terms of Infrastructure, Code, Platform and People
- How it is hosted on AWS with Kubernetes and what we specifically learned from hosting Decoupled within Docker & Kubernetes
- Other things we learned running such a big website
You will learn:
- How the infrastructure looks for such a big website
- How we leverage auto scaling to handle traffic spikes
- How we can use newest container technologies to provide a better developer experience
- How technology is great, but in the end the people behind the processes, operations and code matter the most
This extended 90min version of session will cover additionally:
- What we learned about full page and API Request caching in a decoupled Drupal enviornment
- How the caching system is composed of multiple layers of Varnish/CDN with cache tags and persistent GraphQL Querries
- Overall have more time to look at the actual diagrams of our infrastructure and cover the reasons behind each part with greater detail
- Give more time to look at actual code examples for the CDN, persistent GraphQL, etc.
- Give the audience more time to interrupt and ask questions right away
