"Drupal is always so fast!" ... said no one, ever.
Drupal has a reputation as being a slow CMS, but that reputation is undeserved; there are many small things that impact a Drupal site's performance in sometimes substantial ways. This session will highlight many 'quick wins' that will get your site performing like a champ in no time!
Then we'll take a demonstration site that has many elements of real-world 'slow' Drupal sites, show how to do a quick performance evaluation/triage, and change the site from loading in 4-5 seconds to loading in less than a second, and maxing out at 2 requests per second to a speedy 4,000+ requests per second!
The session will also discuss the importance of a plan, benchmarking, and assumptions when you do performance work on your own Drupal site.
Ansible 101 - Presentation at Ansible STL MeetupJeff Geerling
Jeff Geerling, author of Ansible for DevOps, demonstrates basic Ansible usage on the Dramble, a cluster of six Raspberry Pi 2 computers.

Introduces Ansible as DevOps favorite choice for Configuration Management and Server Provisioning. Enables audience to get started with using Ansible. Developed in Python which only needs YAML syntax knowledge to automate using this tool.
This is my presentation on MySQL user camp on 26-06-2015.
It gives basic introduction to Ansible and how it can be benefited for MySQL deployment and configuration.
Ansible for Drupal infrastructure and deploymentsJeff Geerling
Let's talk Ansible!
Drupal 8 uses YAML. Ansible uses YAML.
Drupal 8 makes it easy to build awesome websites. Ansible makes it easy to build awesome infrastructure.
Let's get together and discuss how you can use (and are already using) Ansible for your infrastructure, continuous integration, deployments, etc., with a focus on things like:
- Ansible for local development environments (e.g. Drupal VM, Vlad)
- Ansible on a cluster of Raspberry Pis (seriously! I'm bringing the Dramble with me)
- Ansible for provisioning and managing hundreds of cloud servers.
Jeff Geerling will be leading the BoF, but hopefully we'll end up with a good discussion about how Ansible can help you solve some pain points in infrastructure management, deployments, and more!

Atmosphere 2014: Really large scale systems configuration - Phil DibowitzPROIDEA
For many years, Facebook managed its systems with cfengine2. With many individual clusters over 10k nodes in size, a slew of different constantly-changing system configurations, and small teams, this system was showing its age and the complexity was steadily increasing, limiting its effectiveness and usability. It was difficult to integrate with internal systems, testing was often impractical, and it provided no isolation of configurations, among many other problems. After an extensive evaluation of the tools and paradigms in modern systems configuration management – open source, proprietary, and a potential home-grown solution – we built a system based on the open-source project Chef. The evaluation process involved understanding the direction we wanted to take in managing the next many iterations of systems, clusters, and teams. More importantly, we evaluated the various paradigms behind effective configuration management and the different kinds of scale they provide. What we ended up with is an extremely flexible system that allows a tiny team to manage an incredibly large number of systems with a variety of unique configuration needs. In this talk we will look at the paradigms behind the system we built, the software we chose and why, and the system we built using that software. Further, we will look at how the philosophies we followed can apply to anyone wanting to scale their systems infrastructure.

Zapping ever faster: how Zap sped up by two orders of magnitude using RavenDBOren Eini
Join a real uplift experience with Hagay Albo, the CTO of the Zap/Yellow Page Group in Israel, in which he explains how his team was able to take a legacy (slow and hard to modify) group of sites and make them easier to work with, MUCH faster and greatly simplified the operational environment.
By prioritizing high availability, flexible data modeling and focusing on raw speed Zap was able to reduce its load times by Two Orders of Magnitudes. Using RavenDB as the core engine behind Zap's new sites had improved site traffic, reduced time to market and made it possible to implement the next-gen features that were previously beyond reach.
DevOps is changing today's software development world by helping us build better software, faster. However most of the knowledge and experience with DevOps is based around application software and ignores the database. We will examine how the concepts and principles of DevOps can be applied to database development by looking at both automated comparison analysis as well as migration script management. Automated building, testing, and deployment of database changes will be shown.

At Tuenti, we do two code pushes per week, sometimes modifying thousands of files and running thousands of automated tests and build operations before, to ensure not only that the code works but also that proper localization is applied, bundles are generated and files get deployed to hundreds of servers as fast and reliable as possible.
We use opensource tools like Mercurial, MySQL, Jenkins, Selenium, PHPUnit and Rsync among our own in-house ones, and have different development, testing, staging and production environments.
We had to fight with problems like statics bundling and versioning, syntax errors and of course the fact that we have +100 engineers working on the codebase, sometimes merging and releasing more than a dozen branches the same day. We also switched from Subversion to Mercurial to obtain more flexibility and faster branching operations.
With this talk we will explain the process of how code changes in ourcode repository end up in live code, detailing some practices and tips that we apply.

DevOps for Humans - Ansible for Drupal Deployment Victory!Jeff Geerling
Everyone knows it's a Good Idea™ to use a configuration management system (e.g. Puppet, Chef) to manage your Drupal infrastructure. But many people (myself included) have run into a wall of #wtfmoments when trying to learn the vagaries of traditional CM systems and their vendor-specific syntaxes.
In 2012, Ansible was released, enabling normal human beings to manage their servers with an easy, but powerful, CM system that uses YAML (just like Drupal 8!) to define configuration and Jinja2 (very much like Twig!) for templates. Not only that, but Ansible is also an incredibly simple and very flexible Drupal deployment and continuous delivery tool.
Learn how you can use Ansible to manage your infrastructure—including local development environments—and stop letting servers and deployments get in the way of development.
Drupal 8 brings a lot of changes. Many standby contributed modules are now included with Drupal Core, and many small changes add up to the most exciting Drupal release yet! We'll walk through many of the biggest changes, highlighting how Drupal 8 will accelerate your web development and provide tools to make Drupal the best content management platform on any device.
Local Dev on Virtual Machines - Vagrant, VirtualBox and AnsibleJeff Geerling

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

• Cheap “Low End Box” servers (~$15/year VPS)
• Infrastructure managed with Ansible
• (aside: check out Ansible for DevOps)
• Cheap service + cheap servers + frequent
changes == 99.9% uptime?
• (testing + automation == reliability)
26. Launch / Marketing
• Some things I’ve tried:
• Drupal.org case study
• Hacker News post
• Sponsoring blogs
• Blogging (servercheck.in/blog)
• Keep trying new things!
27. Summary
• Drupal is great for user-centric apps (and
integrates with almost anything)
• Sometimes, Drupal/PHP gets in the way (use the
right tool for the job)
• You can do a lot with a little (hosting and
marketing)
