Using JMeter for performance testing

bill — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:50:49 +0000

JMeter is a useful tool for performance testing and profiling of your web applications, determining problematic pages, and identifying the realistic amount of traffic your site can be expected to handle. On the downside, in the Drupal space, it's an outside tool and oftentimes something that is - as a result - less approachable. On the positive side, there's always time to learn, and JMeter knowledge is applicable outside of the Drupal market.

Drupal App Code Sprint at BADCamp 2011

Achieve Internet — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 18:07:23 +0000

You Know What Would Be Cool...?

You know what would be cool? Six simple words that have led many a Drupal developer to endless sleepless nights.

Well, here we go again... wouldn't it be cool to get some smart people together and build some apps? Sounded good over beers, so the team at Achieve ran with the idea and convinced our friends at Phase2, ImageX and Treehouse (more beers) to join us for a code sprint Oct 21st.

Event information: http://2011.badcamp.net/program/sprints

We have the beer drinkers, now we we're looking for those smart people! If you're interested in building apps, come join us. We need UX folks, themers, and of course, developers.

Bring Your Ideas for Apps to Build

We have many ideas for cool apps we could build:

Integrations

Mailchimp -> newsletters

Google Analytics -> SEO reporting suite

NodeSquirrel -> content backup and deployment

General audience

Photo gallery -> using the media module, content types, plupload, etc.

Socialize -> an app that integrates the functionality of Follow + Disqus + Twitter + Facebook + Google Plus

Publishing-specific audience

Classifieds

Circulation / subscription integration

Paywall

Public sector-specific audience

Petitioning

Archive tool -> archives content compliant with the Federal Records Act

Emergency notifications

Meeting minutes -> can be reused in a lot of contexts

We need more ideas and YOU!

Chirp in: Tweet your ideas to @achieveinternet with the hashtag #appidea and we will put it up on the whiteboard during the Drupal Apps Code Sprint. See you all at @badcamp

Let's Build Some Drupal Apps

rmontero — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 00:14:13 +0000

Why We Should Build Drupal Apps

A Drupal app takes the functionality from a group of modules or features, wraps it up in a meaningful and extremely user-friendly fashion, and then makes sure it plays well with other apps. Since it can be powered by modules and features, a Drupal app includes all the right roles and permissions, as well as content types, taxonomies, views, settings and blocks, resulting in a one-click installation and an enhanced user experience. Sweet, huh?

rmontero — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 00:12:08 +0000

A lot has been said about the positives and potential negatives of introducing apps into the Drupal ecosystem, yet it appears that the value of apps still isn't widely known, since we still haven't seen a surge in the number of Drupal apps available.
