Drupal as an Enterprise Component

Souvent22 — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:50:11 -0800

Please note, this discussion could touch some advanced topics such as BEPL, EDI, SOAP, CORBA, LDAP/ADS, etc.
This talk will focus on both some simple and some advanced topics covering "enterprise" solutions. We wish to discuss how Drupal fits into the enterprise stack; with the notion that Drupal, as with any enterprise solution, needs to "fit into" the stack, and not "be" or try to "take over" the stack. The panel will consist of a few high-traffic sites, but leaning towards large-data sites (2 million nodes/rows +).

We will showcase the implementation details and demonstrate the database integration capabilities of Zope and Plone with ORM layer using SQLAlchemy for a heavily Database (MySQL) driven Information Management system.

This shows the flexibility of Zope/Plone to scale up to handle highly customized non-CMS features in addition to its great CMS capabilities.
