DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019: Security, Drupal 9, and Navigating the Changing Web Landscape

In this session, Jess from Acquia discusses the evolution of Drupal 8 and its adoption of industry standards such as semantic versioning and package management. The talk examines the effects of this transition on release schedules, backward compatibility, and security protocols, not only within Drupal but also across various content management systems and frameworks. Attendees can expect insights into the upcoming changes in Drupal 9 and 10, the influence of third-party libraries on development practices, and considerations regarding the use of package managers like Composer, npm, and yarn, including associated risks and mitigation strategies.
