DrupalCon Barcelona 2015: Headless D8 in HHVM plus Angular.js

This talk explores how Drupal 8 serves as an ideal API-driven application framework, seamlessly integrating with front-end technologies like AngularJS. The speaker discusses the advantages of managing the content store and API with Drupal, while treating the front-end as a separate application, making it well-suited for mobile-first development and collaborative workflows. Additionally, the session highlights the role of the HipHop Virtual Machine in optimizing PHP performance. Robert Douglass and Augustin Delaporte demonstrate how Platform.sh offers a comprehensive development and hosting solution, emphasizing support for microservice architectures, dedicated development environments for Git branches, and an intelligent deployment process that updates only the modified parts of the application.
