About this talk

It delves into the inherent challenges of caching with authenticated users and dynamic content in Drupal 7, along with solutions for scaling orders, database locking, and order locking. The speaker also discusses the advantages of PHP 7 for Commerce and examines how changes in Commerce 2.x for Drupal 8 will impact performance, especially in relation to cache contexts and BigPipe.
