Backend Development

Search API is a powerful module family. Especially, if you work with different search backends such as Solr, Elastic, OpenSearch, etc. and you want to create unified solutions for all of them.

However, it is not easy to build decoupled searches using Search API.

Therefore we have created a new module called search_api_decoupled, that exposes all necessary configurations to initialise a decoupled search application (layout, facets, search result rendering, autocomplete, etc.) and an API endpoint to query the search index.

The module exposes an UI to control the display of the search block or search page, including placement of elements like search input, pagination, various facets and search summary. For placement the layout module from core is used. Facets are created by the existing facets module. For autocomplete search_api_autocomplete is used.

The search endpoint was designed similar to existing search solutions, foremost Elasticsearch helper, and is very easy to consume.

Architecturally, the search relies only on data from the search index, and does not load nor render entities in Drupal. This makes searching lightning fast and overcomes caching challenges that might occur with existing display solutions for Search API.

For showcasing we have created a search app. However, this search app is not part of the new module, because it is highly opinionated and coupled to our frontend stack (React, Webcomponents, Tailwind). However, we would like to add a demo app or starter kit in a sub-module, that others can use to build their own search apps.

DevOps & Quality Assurance

Cyber security (or lack of) has been covered extensively in the news. Hacker attacks range from bored school kids toying around to state-sponsored ransom-driven targeted strikes. As software engineers it’s our responsibility to incorporate cyber security best practices into the development cycle. In this presentation, I’ll provide a list of resources, best practices, tools and Drupal modules for designing and implementing a more secure Drupal web application and to prepare for penetration testing.

Project Management & Business

We at NETNODE, a small swiss Drupal agency have successfully adopted and blended principles from Holacracy, Sociocracy, and Reinventing Organizations since late 2019. In this session, I will explore the fascinating world of decentralized leadership and share our experience in creating a thriving work environment without a CEO or job titles.

Key Takeaways:

Gain an understanding of Holacracy, Sociocracy, and Reinventing Organizations, and learn how these models can create a more adaptive and empowered work culture.
Discover how NETNODE successfully transitioned from a more traditional organisation model to a flexible, self-managing organization, while continuing to excel as a Drupal agency.
Learn from our experiences, challenges, and successes in adopting these new organizational models and creating a supportive, collaborative, and innovative environment for our team members.
Gain insights into the practical steps and tools that can be used to implement and scale these models in your own organization.

Session Format:

This interactive session will feature a mix of theory and practice, with the first half dedicated to explaining the core concepts and ideas behind Holacracy, Sociocracy, and Reinventing Organizations. The second half will focus on the journey of NETNODE, sharing our experiences in adopting these models, the challenges we faced, and the positive (and negative) outcomes we achieved. There will be ample opportunity for Q&A and group discussion to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking among attendees.

Join me in this session to discover how you can break away from traditional organizational structures and create a more resilient, innovative, and efficient workplace through the power of decentralized leadership models.
