Gatsby & Drupal

Gatsby (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/) is a fun to use application generator for React that makes it easy to create blazing fast websites. Drupal (https://www.drupal.org) is one of the most popular open-source content management systems in the world and makes it easy to create unique editorial workflows for your content team.

This presentation looks at how to build a web application that sources content from Drupal, renders ultra-fast static pages with Gatsby, then combine that with traditional React for user authentication and personalization. With the goal of providing attendees with the information they need to get started doing so, and some examples of what's possible.

In this presentation you'll learn:

  • Why Gatsby is awesome for generating JavaScript web applications
  • Why Drupal rocks for content management
  • Why/How to use the two together
  • How handle private content, and other personalization
  • Look at a case-study of building a web application that sources content from Drupal, renders ultra-fast static pages with Gatsby, combined with traditional React for user authentication and personalization
