Exploring Drupal Sustainability: Gander Framework Unveiled
The latest episode of Tag1 Team Talks focuses on the growing awareness of sustainability and its implications for Drupal and the future of the web. Hosted by Mariano Crivello, the panel includes Mike Gifford from Civic Actions, Tim Lehnen from the Drupal Association, and Michael Meyers from Tag1. The roundtable discussion delves into crucial aspects like legislative impacts, industry shifts, and collective community efforts across the web. The conversation then narrows down to the Sustainability Initiative within the Drupal community, offering insights on how to get involved and the use of the new #sustainability tag in the issue queue.
A noteworthy dialogue highlight introduces Gander, an automated performance testing framework developed by Tag1 in collaboration with the Google Chrome team. Integrated into the Drupal QA system, Gander plays a vital role in performance monitoring, ensuring that alterations or fixes to the Drupal core don't adversely affect performance. This tool aligns seamlessly with the goals of the sustainability initiative, contributing to an improved user experience through enhanced site speed.
