Thinking Async

My goal for this talk is to get you excited about asynchronous programming with Drupal.

There's still a little way to go before Drupal can support what I'm talking about today. Particularly some work needs to be done in the Drupal Kernel to make way for the event loop. Help me execute my Proposal: Restructuring Drupal's internals to make that happen.

The following resources are referenced in this presentation:

• “JavaScript Visualised - Event Loop, Web APIs, (Micro)task Queue” by Lydia Hallie
• The Revolt documentation
  • https://revolt.run/fundamentals
  • https://revolt.run/timers
  • https://revolt.run/streams
  • https://revolt.run/signals
• Proposal: Restructuring Drupal's internals
• Drupal Core issues
  • Add revolt/event-loop dependency to core
  • Adopt the Revolt event loop for async task orchestration
  • Migrate BigPipe and Renderer fiber implementation to use Revolt Event Loop
• AMPHP
