Showcase (or case study)

In Part 1, we talked about using Backdrop CMS to run your entire business, from job tracking to stadium screens. Now, let’s get our hands dirty and talk infrastructure. If your business apps are critical, you need speed, reliability, and full control over your data.

We're trading expensive cloud bills and vendor lock-in for a lean, powerful, self-hosted infrastructure stack that keeps you in the driver's seat.

This is a deep dive into what DevOps need to develop, deploy, and automate your mission-critical Backdrop applications:

You already know Backdrop CMS builds great websites. But what if it could revolutionise your business processes, manage your clients, and even control the big-screen TV at sports stadiums?

Review of some of the demonstrated use cases for Higher Ed:

• Research Apps
• Upgrades from D7
• Custom workflow applications
• Unified theme and configuration system for multiple subdomains

Conversation, questions, and discussions with the group.

We'll explore the situation PSU was in with multiple Drupal 7 sites, the decision and process of moving to Backdrop, and some of the efficiencies we found along the way to move these sites. 

Ubercart in Backdrop is looking amazing!

Several members of the Backdrop community have devoted their time and knowledge to making this happen - working on coding, integrations and documentation.  Why not spin up a site on Backdrop, and test out this user-friendly set of modules.

We are hoping to hear from

In this session we're going to try a live upgrade of a Drupal 7 to both Drupal 10 and Backdrop CMS. 

Have you ported or created a module that you want to share? Perhaps you are excited about a module that you've recently discovered and think it deserves a bit of a celebration?

This event is open for anyone to share about a module.  I'll be sharing a few that I've done; hopefully others will too.

The Friends of the Mississippi have been using Drupal for a long time and have accumulated 1000's of pieces of content (nodes). Their website is an important tool in their daily efforts to engage with the community to protect, restore and enhance the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) region. 

I'll screenshare a short demo of a project that I'm currently working on, including a peek at the back end showing how I've put things together and what the administrative experience is like for the site admins. The site makes much use of Paragraphs and the new modal administration capabilities in that module.

The America's Best Bootfitters website has a rich archive of relational content: boots that have styles, and categories, shops that sell specific brands and specific boots in certain locations, and different types of boot testers with their own preferences and comments about each boot. The dynamic relational nature of this content is one of the things Backdrop CMS does best.
