Website development tactics range from completely monolithic, where your application is a single-tier with all of your code running on as a single program on one platform, to fully decoupled, where your front and back ends are managed by different systems. In the first part of this three-part series, Senior Software Engineer Laslo Horvath joins Managing Director Michael Meyers for an overview of Laravel . Laravel is a PHP framework designed to meet the needs of new web developers with monolithic applications, to experienced developers who may need a fully or progressively decoupled website to meet all of their clients’ needs.

In addition, Drupal has witnessed countless paradigm shifts in its lengthy history, both in the surrounding world of web development and in its internal workings.

Two of the five D9 Strategic Initiatives have been dedicated to making this happen. The “New Front-End Theme Initiative” or user interface (UI) for Drupal, also known as the Olivero Theme, covers the end-user experience. The “Admin UI & JavaScript Modernisation Initiative”, also known as the Claro Admin theme covers site builders, managers, and administrators. A critical component of improving the experience for all users is accessibility.

1 False Economy of Low Cost Contractors - the common misconception that less expensive resources save you money - Tag1 Team Talk #020 29:35

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedToo often, organizations believe that contracting more affordable and less expensive resources for a project will lead to better savings. Here at Tag1 Consulting, we've in fact discovered that the opposite is true: Hiring cheaper often leads to worse results. Though it's often convenient to look at the hourly rate, or the provided quote for the project, this can often lead to less attention on questions and issues that should go into any project calculus. At Tag1, we often hear this come up from both our new and existing clients. But it's a siren song: Though many organizations want to get the best bang out of their buck, it doesn't necessarily mean that going the more affordable route is the right direction. In recent years, the explosion of software consultancies and professional services has led some to argue that software implementation has become a "commodity business." This is couched in the mistaken belief that any engineer, if afforded the right tools, can rapidly assemble pre-existing components to manifest solutions quickly with minimal investment. However, such a notion of assemblage doesn't avoid the Frankenstein effect, in which organizations seldom have a single monolithic tool that can be leveraged horizontally. Instead, software architecture is not just about putting the pieces together; it is about understanding the optimal conjunct that those components make up. Digging into some of the secrets we've learned at Tag1 as a business, join our latest episode of Tag1 Team Talks , with Peta Hoyes (Chief Operating Officer, Partner at Tag1), Michael Meyers (Managing Director at Tag1), and your host Preston So (Editor in Chief at Tag1 and author of Decoupled Drupal in Practice ).

1 Enabling Declarative Components Everywhere: Drupal + Web Components Out of the Box - Tag1TeamTalk #019 50:28
50:28 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked50:28
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMany front-end technologies, especially React, now consider the notion of declarative components to be table stakes. Why haven't they arrived in environments like the Drupal CMS's own front end? Many native CMS presentation layers tend to obsolesce quickly and present a scattered or suboptimal developer experience, particularly against the backdrop of today's rapidly evolving front-end development workflows. But according to Fabian Franz, there is a solution that allows for that pleasant front-end developer experience within Drupal itself without jettisoning Drupal as a rendering layer. The solution is a combination of Web Components support within Drupal and intelligent handling of immutable state in data that allows for Drupal to become a more JavaScript-like rendering layer. Rather than working with endless render trees and an antiquated Ajax framework, and instead of reinventing Drupal's front-end wheel from scratch, Fabian recommends adopting the best of both worlds by incorporating key aspects of Web Components, the Shadow DOM, and particularly syntactic sugar for declarative components that competes readily not only with wildly popular JavaScript technologies like React and Vue but also matches up to the emerging approaches seen in ecosystems like Laravel. In this Tag1 Team Talks episode, join Fabian Franz (Senior Technical Architect and Performance Lead at Tag1), Michael Meyers (Managing Director at Tag1), and your host and moderator Preston So (Editor in Chief at Tag1; Senior Director, Product Strategy at Oracle; and author of Decoupled Drupal in Practice ) for a wide-ranging technical discussion about how to enable declarative components everywhere for Drupal's front end out of the box.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAfter four-and-a-half years of development, Drupal 9 was just released, a milestone in the evolution of the Drupal content management system. The Drupal Association has long played a critical role not only in supporting the advancement and releases of one of the world's largest and most active open-source software projects; it also contributes to the Drupal roadmap and drives its forward momentum in other important ways. In addition to maintenance releases for Drupal 7 and Drupal 8, the Drupal 9 release not only promises an easy upgrade for Drupal 8 users but also ushers in a new period of innovation for Drupal. But that's not all. Drupal 9's release also means long-awaited upgrades to Drupal.org as well as some of the most essential infrastructure and services that underpin Drupal.org and its associated properties, like localize.drupal.org, groups.drupal.org, and api.drupal.org. Releases in Drupal have also garnered greater scrutiny from nefarious actors who target launch dates to seek security vulnerabilities. The Drupal Association works tirelessly to buttress all of these initiatives and responsibilities, with the support of Tag1 and other organizations. In this Tag1 Team Talks episode, part of a special series with the engineering team at the Drupal Association, we speak discuss Drupal 9 and what it portends for Drupal's future with Tim Lehnen (Chief Technology Officer, Drupal Association), Neil Drumm (Senior Technologist, Drupal Association), Narayan Newton (Chief Technology Officer, Tag1 Consulting), Michael Meyers (Managing Director, Tag1 Consulting), and Preston So (Editor in Chief at Tag1 Consulting and author of Decoupled Drupal in Practice ).

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMaintaining Drupal projects and managing Drupal modules can be challenging for even contributors who have unlimited time. For decades now, Drupal's ecosystem has cultivated a wide array of tools for contributors to create patches, report issues, collaborate on code, and perform continuous integration. But as many source control providers begin to release shiny new features like web IDEs and issue workspaces that aim to make open-source contributors' lives even easier, many are doubtlessly wondering how Drupal's own developer workflows figure in an emerging world of innovation in the space. DrupalSpoons, created by Moshe Weitzman and recently released, is a special configuration of groups and projects in GitLab that provides a bevy of useful features and tools for Drupal contributors who are maintaining Drupal projects. A play on the word "fork," which refers to a separately maintained clone of a codebase that still retains a link to the prior repository, DrupalSpoons offers support for GitLab issues, merge requests (GitLab's analogue for GitHub's pull requests), and continuous integration on contributed Drupal projects in the ecosystem. It leverages zero custom code, apart from the issue migration process to aid DrupalSpoons newcomers, and outlines potential trajectories for Drupal contribution in the long term as well. In this exciting episode of Tag1 Team Talks , Moshe Weitzman (Subject Matter Expert, Senior Architect, and Project Lead at Tag1) hopped on with Michael Meyers (Managing Director at Tag1) and your host Preston So (Editor in Chief at Tag1 and author of Decoupled Drupal in Practice ) for a deep dive into what makes DrupalSpoons so compelling for Drupal contributors and the origin story that inspired Moshe to build it.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedResearch shows that if your application introduces latency of even a few milliseconds, your business revenue can suffer immensely. At Tag1, we often have clients approach us with concerns about high traffic. Load testing and performance tuning often elicit groans from architects and developers more interested in building features, but it is a critical step in the process to ensuring your web application can operate at scale under heavy load. Though other load testing ecosystems exist, most notably Locust, these suffer from certain disadvantages that make them less appealing for those concerned about scalability. Goose is a powerful new open-source load testing tool written in Rust by the Tag1 team. Inspired by Locust, it offers many of the same advantages but makes far more efficient use of the underlying hardware. On a single core, the current version of Goose is at least eleven times faster than Locust, and this high level of scalability increases as you introduce additional cores. And fortunately for open-source contributors, Goose is entirely free and open-source, with the roadmap and vision to become a formidable player among load testing tools.

The milestone represented by Drupal 9 also welcomes new versions of both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 to the Drupal ecosystem. It's been four-and-a-half years since Drupal 8 was released, and 54 months of development from scores of contributors around the world went into Drupal 9. And thanks to the indefatigable efforts of open-source contributors in the module ecosystem, there are already over 2,000 contributed modules ready to go, compatible with Drupal 9 out of the box. Drupal 9 is a massive step for innovation in the Drupal community, thanks to the careful thought that went into how Drupal can continue to stay ahead of the curve. During the Drupal 9 development cycle, which was largely about deprecating and removing old code, the Drupal core committers laid the groundwork for the future and facilitated a more pleasant upgrade experience from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 that should smooth over many of the hindrances that characterized the transition from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.

All of the "cloud services" that we work with on a daily basis in the Drupal ecosystem represent fundamental functions of the Drupal Association. In recent years, the Drupal Association has launched several features that reinvent the way developers interact with Drupal as a software system, including DrupalCI (Drupal's test infrastructure), Composer Façade (in order to support Drupal's adoption of Composer), and Drupal's ongoing migration to GitLab for enhanced source control. For many years, Tag1 Consulting has supported and contributed to the Drupal Association not only as a key partner in visible initiatives but also in the lesser-known aspects of the Drupal Association's work that keep Drupal.org and the ecosystem running.

Thanks to WebRTC and Yjs, anyone can build collaborative editing into their web application, and this includes more than just text — Yjs enables collaborative drawing, drafting, and other innovative use cases. The advantage of such a peer-to-peer model (in lieu of a client–server model) in the CMS world is that collaborative editing can be added to any editorial interface without significant overhead or a central server handling conflict resolution.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedDrupal is notorious for its "everyone has a voice" approach to open-source development, but it isn't easy to reach consensus across thousands of people with different backgrounds and opinions. In addition, Drupal has witnessed countless paradigm shifts in its lengthy history, both in the surrounding world of web development and in its internal workings. As Drupal has grown to power over two percent of the websites on the entire internet, many new workflows and governance structures have had to be put in place to guarantee the continued longevity of the Drupal community. In addition, with end-of-life quickly approaching for Drupal 7, contributors now have to juggle a widening range of versions.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedRich text editors are an integral part of content creation and content management workflows, but they can often present challenges for developers when it comes to robustness, extensibility, flexibility, and accessibility. What are some of the considerations you should keep in mind when evaluating rich text editors, especially for mission-critical systems like the application Tag1 is building for a top Fortune 50 company? In this Tag1 Team Talk, we explore the new generation of rich text editors, which are based on a well defined data-structure rather than HTML, but still can export to Markdown or HTML. This allows us to tackle new requirements organizations have, including video embedding, cross-device support, and keyboard-navigable editors. After diving into some of the open-source solutions available in the market, such as Draft.js, CKEditor 5, Quill, Slate, and TapTap, join moderator Preston So (Contributing Editor) and guests Nik Graf (Senior Software Engineer), Kevin Jahns (Real-time Collaboration Systems Lead, Yjs creator), Fabian Franz (Senior Technical Architect and Performance Lead), and Michael Meyers (Managing Director) for an in-depth conversation about why ProseMirror is the best tool for our client’s project requirements.

In the inaugural TAG Team Talk, hosted by Preston So (Contributing Editor, Tag1 Consulting), we conduct a wide-ranging discussion about both the business prerogatives and technical ins-and-outs of real-time collaborative editing and its landscape today, with our guests Kevin Jahns (creator of Yjs and collaborative editing expert at Tag1 Consulting), Fabian Franz (Senior Technical Architect and Performance Lead, Tag1 Consulting), and Michael Meyers (Managing Director, Tag1 Consulting). In this talk, we explore collaborative editing, diving into how it works and some of the challenges borne by shared editing. Through the lens of Yjs, a real-time collaboration framework that supports not just text but also collaborating on drawings and 3-D models, we take a look at Operational Transformation (OT) and how implementing Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT) drives decentralized server approaches in collaborative editing and supports more robust distributed applications with true real-time support.
