Talks & Speakers

Microservices Architecture for Content Management Systems using AWS Lambda and more by Eugene Istrati

Content Management Systems are by nature resource intensive, expensive to customize, and difficult to manage at scale. What if we can change this perception and help PHP / Drupal developers architect a content platform that is high performance and low cost, high security and low maintenance? This talk will focus on 3 key topics: 1) serverless environment, 2) microservices architecture and 3) hands-on demos. We will describe a serverless solution and propose a scalable architecture that will help Drupal community to adopt cloud-native approach without huge efforts or expensive resources allocation.
