We all use searches multiple times a day without ever giving them a second thought. Browsing a webshop to find that one particular product, searching through forums to find a solution to your specific problem, or filtering stores based on your location to find the closest one, etc.

All of these examples require the same thing: content that is indexed in such a way that it can be filtered. In general, this is quite easy to set up: all you need is a database and a query to get you started.

Our team had been using Varnish a long time for our Dropsolid Drupal 7 project, and we thought the time had come to get it working for Drupal 8 as well. That is why our CTO, Nick Veenhof, organized a meetup about Caching & Purging in Drupal 8. Niels van Mourik gave an elaborate presentation about the Purge module and how it works.

Yesterday a highly critical security issue in Drupal was released. The issue itself is considered critical, because, the way we understood, it makes it possible to execute code as an anonymous user. This could lead to a complete hack of your site and complete exposure of your content - or, worse, if your webserver is badly configured, a full-scale hostile takeover of your server.

In part 2 of this three-part series, we showed you how to set up you config management flow. In this part we’ll be looking at some use cases and common issues related to config management.
