Drupal, DevOps and JS/TS @ Metadrop
Hoy estoy junto con Oskar Calvo en el #CodeMotionMadrid2025 para hablar de Drupal CMS, los futuros Site Template, la integración de Drupal e IA, la nueva forma de edición visual con Experience Builder y en general de Drupal y todo lo que lo acompaña, ¡allí nos vemos!
What about a BoF about Form API modernisation? It has been essentially the same since its creation. It's great but is falling behind with new developments like SDCs. The BoF idea comes after this session: https://www.drupalcamp.be/en/drupal-dev-days-2025/session/sdc-form-api-better-late-never
Tomorrow at 11?
One issue is handling of the state, because the state is handled by the backend but then actions are done in the front-end.

New release of Entity Mesh with some important bug fixes!
This Drupal module provides a D3 visualisation of the relationships of your content (not the data model), and can help you find broken links, for example.
Something relevant is the future of the Site Templates Marketplace, take the survey for developers!

Drupal CMS Q&A with Dries session now! Do you want to ask anything about Drupal CMS?
@metadrop There is some hatred of Tailwind CSS. I understand it when it is used with too many classes, trading inline style for atomic classes. But you can use Tailwind CSS semantically, and get all the other benefits it offers (mainly a modern CSS approach).

Not everything in this life is Drupal, and at the last Metcamp, our in-person annual meeting, we built a do-it-yourself remote-controlled boat. It was super fun, so we want to show you how to make your own boat!

The #drupal core Database API is pretty amazing and something that most Drupal developers probably take for granted.
In this blog post, David Bekker (daffie on drupal.org) talks about using MongoDB to store entities instances as JSON objects - which leads to some amazing performance metrics.
If you’re nerdy about databases, check this out: https://techblog.finalist.nl/blog/drupal-mongodb-more-just-new-database-option
How many other open-source CMSes allow you to swap out the database storage? (Seriously, how many - I do not know.)
It seems Google Tag module has support for Server-side tagging but no clear up to what extent.
This article, four years old, is very interesting and lengthy:
https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/server-side-tagging-google-tag-manager/
I have been reading on Server-side Tagging (using a proxy in your domain between third-party services and your visitors). It's crazy because some say it's better for privacy while others say it's better to gather data (because you can bypass most privacy protections).
I guess it depends on how you use it.
It seems a good tool in good hands, although it means more costs (more requests to process, because the client doesn't request third-party resources anymore).
I'd love to hear experiences

The Drupal module HTTP Client Options per URI allows to fine-tuning the outgoing requests made by a Drupal site depending on the destination URI.
Why? To avoid having a large timeout value because a single external slow service.
