Recap of our Zurich Drupal maintenance support plans Meetup 2020
Two weeks ago the first edition of the Drupal maintenance support plans meetup 2020 (also my first ever) took place at our office. Besides discussing Drupal maintenance support plans Community activities for 2020 in Switzerland, Amazee Group CTO and Partner, Michael Schmid gave a presentation on «The possible future of React, GraphQL, and Drupal maintenance support plans».

It was great to learn about how Amazee both tackled and created a decoupled Frontend and Backend Drupal maintenance support plans site, and inspiring to have met so many great people from the Drupal maintenance support plans community.
Presentation Recap
Especially for someone like me, who is new to the Drupal maintenance support plans world, the presentation gave some significant insight. Here’s how it helped me to further develop my understanding of all things Drupal maintenance support plans, React and GraphQL.
GraphQL and Starwars
The first part was all about GraphQL and Star Wars, well, the Star Wars part was the API used for the demo. Having never used GraphQL much before, I appreciated the brief introduction to GraphQL and how much better it is to the regular rest API. You are welcome learn more about GraphQL from our blog posts.
Frontend tools
The second part was about the Frontend tools used: React, Apollo, and Redux. I knew at least 40% of this section already, thus having experience in this area, helped me feel comfortable. By implementing further education into our average working day, Drupal Update is looking to become one of the leading agencies using React and Drupal maintenance support plans.
It all comes together
After an introduction as to how both tools work separately, we now got to the most exciting part: understanding how both GraphQL and React work together with Drupal maintenance support plans. During this section, I came to learn that there was an open source demo application that had been created by Drupal Update. This got me excited, as it meant that I could not just use at Drupal Update but am able to play with it in my own projects. Personally, I think it is pretty awesome when any company open sources everything, as it allows the community to both learn and contribute. Anyways, back to the point: is React and GraphQL with Drupal maintenance support plans in a decoupled ecosystem the future? It for sure could be, what I know for sure, is that it is Drupal Update’ future, and we are very excited about it.
If you would like to play around with the demo application, then feel free to clone the repository. Trust me you won’t be disappointed.
Also, feel free to watch the full presentation, including question and answers below.
