DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: BigPipe

This talk explores the concept of BigPipe rendering in Drupal 8, highlighting its ability to improve page load performance by allowing the server to send parts of an HTML page to the client before the entire page is fully rendered. The speaker discusses the implementation of the BigPipe module and demonstrates how to make a Drupal site BigPipe-compatible. The session covers both the foundational ideas behind BigPipe and the technical details that enable this advanced functionality, making it accessible for even those new to Drupal. Additionally, the speaker touches on how Drupal 8's improved architecture enables further optimizations, such as Edge Side Includes (ESI), without requiring custom code.
