UI Suite is a community initiative that aims to provide full Design systems integration inside Drupal. I propose to present emerging best practices in design systems integration.

The k-digital news service in Austria serves millions of users with multiple popular portals, relying on a single Drupal CMS instance. However, maintaining stable performance, scaling architectural decisions, managing staff turnover, handling legacy code, and keeping documentation up-to-date pose significant challenges. This session will share the team's insights and experiences in overcoming these obstacles and maintaining an enterprise-level project. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge about project architecture, development workflows, and lessons learned.

Drupal Core currently provides a very rudimentary API for sending transactional emails. This applies to both, the way emails are constructed (markup rendered to plaintext) as well as the way they are delivered (using the very limited PHP mail function). A growing number of contrib projects are attempting to close this gap. However, to give site builders the tools they need to make their emails look good and work with modern email infrastructure, contrib projects must apply crude hacks to work around the limitations of the core mail API. This session is a very short introduction into core and contrib mail APIs followed by a (hopefully) long Q&A where the audience is encouraged to bring in their PoV regarding the future of transactional email. The results of this session will ideally lead to a clear and broadly accepted plan for the next step on how Drupal core transactional email is going to be modernized in upcoming releases.

We’ll cover several existing and future initiatives that will improve the default admin UI experience.

This session will provide valuable insights and techniques for building dynamic, scalable, fully decoupled Drupal applications.

As a developer, it is essential to explore powerful and reliable backend solutions to create rich iOS applications. Drupal stands out as one of the leading open-source content management systems (CMS). With its extensibility, security, and powerful API capabilities, utilizing Drupal as a backend for iOS applications can be an exciting and effective choice. This session aims to provide you with an in-depth understanding of how to leverage Drupal's capabilities as an iOS application backend, focusing on practical solutions for the most common challenges developers face. We have designed this session to help developers create robust iOS applications by harnessing Drupal's strengths in handling in-app purchases, receipt validation, and REST API integrations. In this presentation, we will deep into the utilization of the Apple Store Server Notifications contrib module, the intricacies of Apple's receipt validation process, and implementing REST APIs using Drupal's REST and JSON API modules. By exploring some real-world examples and best practices, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to build your next iOS app with confidence.

We will share our thanks and showcase upcoming Drupal events.
