About this talk
This talk focuses on the evolution of Drupal from version 6 to version 8, highlighting the need for a significant shift towards a document-oriented API to enhance content management. The speaker explores current challenges in Drupal, such as the tight coupling with MySQL and the manual denormalization processes, and proposes a new architecture that allows the storage of generic semi-structured documents. Key features discussed include an API that enables deep querying within these documents, revision handling similar to Git, and the flexibility to integrate multiple storage solutions. The session emphasizes how this approach can improve synchronization between content and configuration, facilitate scalability, and leverage both SQL and document-oriented databases like MongoDB.
