A look at the progress with Decoupled Drupal

 

It’s been a little over a year since Drupal 8 was released with RESTful web services available out of the box, but that doesn’t mean that our community hasn’t kept pace with unprecedented progress in the landscape around us. Since November 2015, we’ve released two new minor versions of Drupal 8, each with exciting new features in the core REST API, thanks to the indefatigable team comprising the API-first initiative. 

Nonetheless, changes are occurring simultaneously in the wider API landscape which are challenging our perceptions and, accordingly, our approaches. Alternatives to our core REST implementation such as JSON API and GraphQL are quickly gaining steam in the front-end world.

Join the webinar as we delve into what’s changed since the release of Drupal 8 in core web services, how core and Drupal’s wider web services ecosystem will evolve in coming minor versions, and how the API-first initiative is anticipating further evolution in our fast-moving surroundings. 

Take a look at Preston's complete presentation.
