DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: The future of Drupal Performance - Parallel worlds

This talk explores the future of Drupal performance, focusing on how to enhance speed and efficiency in the Drupal 8 and 9 frameworks. The speaker discusses the limitations of the current bootstrap phase, internal page caching, and I/O wait times, proposing a parallelized approach that allows Drupal to execute CPU-intensive tasks while waiting on I/O. This session introduces concepts such as event loops and a more passive bootstrap process that emphasizes on-demand loading, aimed at achieving fast-response times comparable to systems like NodeJS. The speaker aims to engage core developers and those interested in innovative performance strategies, highlighting the potential of integrating asynchronous PHP technologies and improving the overall performance landscape of Drupal.
