#Astro + Drupal
11 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
can you please elaborate on the integration you are expecting, will you use Drupal as CMS then sure, should be easy, Astro is server based and query data from any CMS. Any other thoughts ?
I guess I'm trying to find a tutorial or something. My team uses Drupal as their CMS with petabytes of data. I'm the Frontend Dev (CSS, JS) and I love Astro. I just want to show them how/why to use Astro for our next phase in development.
hmm, I see, I can try to help you with that,...
- in Astro, there are guides how to migrate from many platforms, just Drupal is not on the list yet the guides might give an idea : https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/migrate-to-astro/
- another useful link is starting from a scratch building a blog in astro step by step tutorial, after this, given you're already familiar with Drupal, everything will feel natural https://docs.astro.build/en/tutorial/0-introduction/
If you have a single site that has > 50 K pages in markdown, then you need to take the time to study scalability first.
Are you targetting Serverless deployment ? SSR or just SSG ?
Thank you for that! I'm not sure about Serverless because of the data transfer and how it's all being used. We are on AWS running MySql. When I say petabytes of data, I mean it lol. I am a gov contractor for NOAA.
Wow Awesome, I'm a hobbyist and helping people on my free time I also help NGO and startups, one way or another you'd always find people willing to help in the Astro community.
I do believe you and I can't imagine how much potential you have to save money and probably make the dev pipeline a bit smoother and easier to add custom functions.
Astro is already serverless ready, so nothing to do even if you do have data (content) to be customized to each user.
But in case you need the database for users management then you might still need it and will have to think of an authentication adapter.
You probably need to start with some prototypes and see how it goes all of these sites here are (mostly free) examples you can copy from https://astro.build/themes/
Sweet! Thanks again!! I really appreciate you helping people. If I had the time and proper knowledge I'd do it too.
We are looking into a new sandbox with a fresh Drupal build and migrate data over as we build. Unfortunately we have to use Drupal and everything we do has to get approved.. that takes forever.
