Migrating a monolithic Drupal 7 site to Drupal 8 was always going to be a tough project. Tough to sell to a client and tough to deliver. However, migrating from a monolithic architecture to a microservice architecture allowed us to upgrade from D7 to D8 and add significant value at the same time.
|
||
|
||
In this talk we will review the design decisions we made and the value we added to a specific project we delivered for one of our main clients. Specifically, we review how Drupal can be used as a 100% decoupled backend with an Angular frontend.
|
||
|
||
We will talk about the challenges and cover the specific role Drupal plays in a microservice environment, and how it interacts with the other applications sitting alongside it.
|
||
|
||
Finally we will describe the benefits of such an approach, and why that’s important to us.
