Experience: 
Intermediate

Drupal is a big system that carries a vast amount of queries per page load and sometime may require a lot of MB for its PHP memory size.

Having the experience of more than 250 developed projects we pledge that Drupal performance can be vastly improved according to the website's goals. We use the right tools to always achieve the results of the Powerful CMS enhanced with Amazing Performance.

In this session we plan to share our best practices and explain our approach for building one of the biggest Drupal sites in Denmark, and probably worldwide. We will share our knowledge about how to identify the right way to build scalable solutions according to a particular site’s goals.

The covered key topics include:
- Drupal setup for scalability;
- Reverse proxies (Varnish);
- Offloading tasks to other (non-Drupal) apps such as ApacheSolr, MongoDB, etc.;
- Optimize web pages to make them load faster.

Intended audience: 

The session is geared for intermediate level developers and site administrators. We'll assume familiarity with PHP, Drupal architecture, and the typical web server stack.
