DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: A look into a possible Future for all of us: React, GraphQL and Drupal

This talk explores the challenges and successes encountered by Amazee Labs while implementing a decoupled system using React and Drupal connected via GraphQL. The speaker discusses the limitations faced with traditional approaches, such as accessibility issues and changing APIs, that led Amazee to initially avoid decoupled architectures. They detail their experience in deploying a comprehensive decoupled system that powers 12 individual websites on a single Drupal backend, emphasizing the use of server-side rendering, continuous deployment workflows, and Docker hosting. The speaker acknowledges the difficulties and ongoing challenges of this approach while advocating for React and GraphQL as a promising future for Drupal.
