DrupalCon Dublin 2016: Configuration Management: theory and practice

This talk focuses on Configuration Management in Drupal 8, highlighting its transformative impact on site builders by allowing them to move away from a database-centered workflow. The speaker discusses how developers often seek to extend the use of Configuration Management beyond its intended purposes, necessitating the creation of new workflows and practices. Through real project examples, the session illustrates the limitations of Configuration Management and presents potential future enhancements that could better serve developers' needs. Attendees, who should already have a grasp of basic site-building processes, will leave with valuable insights and practical examples to improve their development experience.
