As the end of life (EOL) for Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 get closer, many long-time users of these platforms are concerned about whether they’ll be ready or able to upgrade their systems. While upgrading from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 should be the easiest major Drupal upgrade ever, the upgrade from Drupal 7 remains a hard sticking point for many users and companies.

Goose, the highly scalable load testing tool created by Tag1 Consulting, has undergone a number of improvements since its creation. Asynchronous support created a significant boost in performance, but Jeremy felt there was still room for improvement.

In previous posts we’ve talked about Goose, and Gaggles, and how they work. Running Goose for an actual client load test is the true test of its use and, like any software, one of the best ways to find out where additional improvements can be made. Here, we’ll walk through how we set up and proceeded through a test with a Tag1 client, what we found, and where, and what Goose improvements are being added...

Introduced in Goose 0.7, Async enables the simulation of considerably more "users" by giving up the CPU when a task is blocked. For example, when a Goose "user" requests a web page, it's blocked until the server responds. Without Async, Goose blocks an entire CPU core while waiting for that response. With Async, Goose makes the request, then gives up the core (ie, sleeps) allowing another "user" to make a request with that same core...

DrupalCon has been no exception to this, bringing both of this year’s conferences online, in an effort to continue fostering the project’s strong community. Always wanted to go...

Tag1 TeamTalk #028.3

Drupal 8’s end of life is only a year away (Nov 2021), and that date is unchangeable. Are you ready? Do you need to know more about why you should get started upgrading? Do you want to know if there’s going to be a Drupal 8 Extended Support program (spoiler: there isn’t).

DrupalCon Global Revisited:

Peta Hoyes, COO, and Fabian Franz, Vice President of Software Engineering, of Tag1 Consulting discuss how teams are working collaboratively in real time and asynchronously more than ever before. Content management systems (CMS) need to meet the needs of users, but to date no system offers real time collaboration, because building collaborative software is extremely complex. Yjs, a real-time collaboration framework abstracts all this complexity, allowing you to enable collaboration in any application. Working with...
