High Performance

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

This group is dedicated to solutions and approaches for high traffic, high performing Drupal sites. As such, it will deal with a lot of information around the rest of a typical Drupal "stack" -- the operating system, web server, database, and PHP tweaks that combine to support the Drupal application.

This is not a support channel or a place to post bug reports.

If you think you have found a bug, use the issue queue for the appropriate project.

If you need support, see http://drupal.org/support for options.

rewriting Drupal with Go

Drupal is awesome and I have been a user since Drupal 4

It is starting to show its age though. It's getting old tech. I can only imagine what would happen if we rewrite Drupal in Golang.

We used to use Drupal for our landing page at Kamva. Ever since we switched to Golang, it uses a lot less RAM and can handle so much more concurrent traffic. I basically use a small server now.

is this crazy idea or can it be done? I see how wordpress fell into compatibility trap and it's ancient software with lots of fundamental issues. why not do a complete rewrite?

Benchmarking Drupal performance modules

Drupal's core performance options and contrib modules can make a huge difference to performance. How much do each of these contribute to the overall performance? Which one's should you try first? It of course depends on the site and how well the modules are configured.

Earlier this year at the DrupalNYC meetup I tested this with a single site. Does anyone have any similar stats? Google has changed the way it calculates the Lighthouse score so it's always useful to have up-to-date results. Would you be willing to test out different performance modules on your site?

Can Drupal be faster than Gatsby?

I'm working on a module (FasterWeb) that changes the frontend behavior of a Drupal site. We intelligently prefetch the HTML of the most likely links that a user will click on and these links open almost instantly (~ 100ms). The user experience is especially remarkable on mobile.

Do you know of any similar Drupal modules? Is there anyone interested in testing the module?

Use drupal as Gatsby backend

Hello,

I am considering to use headless Drupal as content provider for Gatsbyjs. Our weblog is wordpress at the moment (http://blog.kamva.ir)

since Gatsby.js is a static site framework, I was wondering if any of you considered it. It's super fast! if yes, did you use a Gatsby plugin for it? how did it set up?

I want to use this setup for our main landing page https://kamva.ir

Opinions / feedback wanted - Drupal, Varnish, Docker, & Kubernetes

Hi all. We're starting our move from D7 to D8, and are going to be using Docker and Kubernetes (with Jenkins) to manage and deploy our D8 environments.

Since with Docker and Kubernetes deploying as many identical nodes as you want / need is trivial, I'm looking for feedback re choosing the standard one-to-many design of Varnish and Drupal nodes (each Varnish node points at multiple Drupal backends), as opposed to a one-to-one design where each Varnish node points at a single Drupal backend.
