Devops

A part of my job in Acquia is looking for complex websites and evaluate them looking to several aspects. Clients hire us during a short period of time to look at vectors like site architecture, best pratices and general configuration and rely on our expertise to trace problems regarding performance, security and daily maintenance traumas.

One of the common challenges facing IT organizations today is to provide a consistent version of organization data across all systems.

This challenge extends to our drupal projects when we need to exchange data with legacy enterprise resource systems, on a secure and structured way.

Examples on this scenario would be product catalog and order synchronization,bulk client migrations on drupal commerce sites.

In this session, we'll introduce you to a series of data integration tools for your Drupal projects:

We, as developers, are always dealing with code wrote by other people. Usually, when that happens, we found ourselves trying to understand what does each piece of code and walking in circles around the code.

To avoid this problem and make the life of our development team easier, we have to put an effort in writing maintainable code. During this session, we will see some common issues, approaches to fix them, advices and examples of how we can achieve our target.

Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions have recently sprung up for Drupal, with Pantheon and Acquia Dev Cloud leading the race. The advantages are plentiful: zero set-up costs, instant upscaling, the use of powerful services such as Apache Solr, Varnish, Redis/Memcached, automated Drupal core updates, site profiling tools, etc.
