Session Category Site-Building Audience Back-end Developers

Explore Drupal Recipes, an approach to kickstarting your projects by creating reusable starter kits and building blocks. This session is for developers and ambitious site builders who want to understand the common business cases for creating recipes, including: 

  • Reducing build time: Take the tedium out of new site creation by curating a base recipe of the modules, entities, and settings you want for all new websites
  • Operationalizing best practices: Bundling collections of configuration used across all sites in your organization. For example, managing a core set of date formats
  • Packaging features: Organize modules and configurations by functional area or business value

Recipes are easy to create once you know some of the basic tips and gotchas. We’ll tell you what we have learned while crafting our own set of recipes at Four Kitchens. Bring your laptop if you feel like cooking, or feel free just to come and hang out in the kitchen and follow along!

This topic is approachable to technical decision makers of any level, but a working knowledge of Compose and package management is helpful to fully understand the examples.
