Database Query Optimization in Drupal Kristen Pol Tue, 08/21/2018 - 03:13

Drupal has been criticized as "being slow" and, it's true, performance can sometimes be an issue. Some performance improvements are made easily by turning on core caching and leveraging a good hosting platform that provides things like Varnish and Redis support. Once you get through the easier wins, tuning can get more challenging and, often, the issues lie with slow database queries.

In this session, we will cover:

NO CODE CONTENT MIGRATION ( D7 TO D8 )

This presentation will focus on a one-click approach to creating migrations in D8 from a CSV file without having to write any code. The no code content migration approach will be discussed using a new D8 module in the works: Contentin. 

The Contentin module dynamically registers a migration from CSV file with one click. Currently, a new helper module called Contentout is being used to produce the hierarchical CSV file (preserves field:subfield, multi-value fields, provides indexing, etc.) that the Contentin module can use to register migrations without writing any custom code.
