Time slot:

March 10th, 2:15 PM - 3:15 PM

Room:

Sheraton 2 & 3

Track:

Coder

Experience:

Advanced

Problem: Drupal often gets "credit" for being a memory- and CPU-hungry content management system.

Solution: The session will describe latest code-design best practices that, when used in module development, provide better resource profile and decrease memory footprint of Drupal-built projects.

We will show how to leverage frameworks like CTools to write leaner, yet extensible modules and what impact the best practices used in this style have on the performance and scalability of the system.
