Sign In About this session
The development of large Drupal websites can pose several unique challenges when changes need to be deployed across different servers. There are as many issues to solve as there are approaches to solving them (e.g. Deployment, Features, Package Builder, Externodes, and so on) and this session will include a demonstration and discussion of the deployment tools and methodology used by Drupal service firms today.
Session outline
