Drupal performance has always been a tough subject. In this session, I will talk about where we came from, what the latest trends are and where we are going.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

This will not be a deep technical talk about how to make your site fast, nor will it be a marketing piece. I will take an in-depth look at the technologies that help Drupal perform and scale to the masses.

I will point you to the technologies and best practices that have been going on lately in the Drupal community, give you a rundown of where we came from and show you where we are going and how to get involved. I would suggest that you have at least a basic understanding of LAMP stack and basic Drupal tuning to get the most from this talk.

"The Cloud" is more than just hyper-hand-waving. There is a monumental shift under way in the global software industry. In the last fifty years software innovation has moved from the mainframe, to the desktop, and now to the internet, aka "The Cloud". This move will upend entire segments of the industry and will have a huge impact on the Drupal project. Within the next two years, more than 50% of all new Drupal sites will be hosted in the cloud and an increasing number of cloud based services will be available to enhance the Drupal platform.

Look upwards and see the future of Drupal
