DevOps Summit: Cloud Dev Environments

Zoom meeting room 1A:
https://zoom.us/j/95037782887

Move over Local Dev Environments. Cloud Dev Environments are the new new.

Cloud Dev Environments (CDEs) give you full fledged IDEs like VS Code and PHP Storm in your browser and some can also integrate with your Local Dev Environments.

With CDEs, you can onboard developers within a day, do pair programming, remote debugging, and spin up a new fresh dev environment in minutes if anything goes wrong.

This session looks at the pros and cons of Cloud Dev Environments, how they're being used by developers, and how different vendors are adopting this technology into their product offerings.

Building a Virtual Conference for 100,000 attendees in 10 weeks, using Drupal + Vue

In this session we will cover:
Engineering:
Why Vue.js and how it helped with performance and privacy
Utilizing Drupal to overcome 3rd party API shortcomings
Performance measurements, scalability

Project Management:
Coordinating with multiple vendors on tight deadlines
Managing 4 internal teams
Implementing Risks and Decision Log

Short summary:
Palantir.net had a 10-week timeline to design and build their online conference platform from scratch. The client assembled a team of top-tier vendors and partners, with Palantir as the technical lead. Our role was to:
Implement a Drupal 9-centric solution that would sit nicely with their existing technology stack, leveraging style guide elements and enhancing their web marketing infrastructure.
Evaluate and make recommendations for the best third-party technology solutions for video streaming, one-on-one session management, feedback systems, sponsorship systems, and community and connection platforms.
Translate custom visual design provided by the client’s design partner into a style guide and then implement it on the live site
Coordinating and collaborating with a large team of partners and vendors on a tight timeline, developing a solution that could easily handle traffic from more than 100,000 attendees during the event.

The tools to get your site ready for Drupal 9 & 10

Drupal 10 is coming in June 2022, and it is coming with a new version of Symfony amongst other improvements. That means there are usages of deprecated code that need to be addressed before the major version change happens – just like we had in the Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 upgrade lifecycle. Luckily, this time around, we have the tools and procedures in place to make this process much easier.

In this session, we will cover the tools available for checking if your site’s code is compatible with the latest version of Drupal and how these tools can even fix your code for you.
