About this talk
This talk discusses how a major media company manages media content using Drupal while serving a REST API to numerous users across various platforms, including desktop sites, mobile phones, and set-top boxes. The speaker explores the concept of Decoupled Content Management Systems, which allow for greater scalability and flexibility in web development. They detail how Palantir.net integrated Drupal 7 with Elastic Search and Silex, a Symfony-based microframework, to create a robust media metadata system that connects with multiple third-party systems, including Rotten Tomatoes. This decoupled approach resulted in improved performance, security, and the successful execution of Palantir.net's first fully Agile project, demonstrating that high-performance web services with Drupal can be realized today.
