Clients & Industry Experiences

With 3.7 million unique users and over 14 million visits per month, k-digital is one of the most important news services in Austria. Using a single Drupal CMS instance as a content hub, k-digital operates multiple popular portals, including kurier.at, futurezone.at, k.at, profil.at, film.at, events.at, freizeit.at, motor.at, and lust-auf-oesterreich.at.

As the project grew and evolved alongside the company, it has became a significant challenge to:

Maintain stable performance.
Design scalable long-term architectural decisions.
Retain project know-how and robust development workflows despite staff turnover.
Deal with legacy code.
Keep the documentation up-to-date.

In this session, I'll share how our team overcame these challenges during the development and maintenance of an enterprise-level project. I'll provide insights into our project architecture and give a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to be a developer at k-digital.

Attend the session to learn about our successes and lessons learned along the way.

Innovation & The future

Drupal Core currently provides a very rudimentary API for sending transactional emails. This applies to both, the way emails are constructed (markup rendered to plaintext) as well as the way they are delivered (using the very limited PHP mail function).

A growing number of contrib projects are attempting to close this gap. However, to give site builders the tools they need to make their emails look good and work with modern email infrastructure, contrib projects must apply crude hacks to work around the limitations of the core mail API.

This session is a very short introduction into core and contrib mail APIs followed by a (hopefully) long Q&A where the audience is encouraged to bring in their PoV regarding the future of transactional email. The results of this session will ideally lead to a clear and broadly accepted plan for the next step on how Drupal core transactional email is going to be modernized in upcoming releases.

Backend Development

UI Suite is a community initiative that aims to provide full Design systems integration inside Drupal architecture. It is designed to target Site builder and Back/Front developer experiences in mind. We’ll focus here on developers.

Since DrupalCon Prague 2022, the UI Suite ecosystem has gained in maturity and lots of discussions happened about the best ways to integrate a Design system in Drupal. From this emerges Best practices.

With the experience gained implementing various private and public design systems (Bootstrap, Material, Protocol, DSFR, …), I propose to present those best practices following feedbacks, evolutions of design systems and Drupal.
