The Serverside Headless CMS.
We took the ideas of headless and applied the same principles to server-side Umbraco websites, removing the need for client-side applications such as React, Angular or Vue but retaining all the benefits of complete separation. Why would we do this? Because being headless has many advantages but sometimes using a Javascript framework would either complicate or reduce the effectiveness of a site, e.g. SEO in e-commerce sites. By using Umbraco to do all the engineering; routing, state management, rendering etc, it makes this way of separating very simple to implement and understand.The result is a new and exciting way of working with Umbraco. -
Umbraco GraphQL in the Wild.
A short talk about how the community-driven Umbraco GraphQL package could be extended to resolve and serve custom property data types to the API. This talk will include some background to getting started with the Umbraco and GraphQL combination and how to make the most of the powerful querying functionality that GraphQL can offer.

Cache me outside. How 'bout dat!.
How often have you needed to tell a client that the problem was cache? How often have you waited 1hr for the cache to clear, only for your hypothesis to be proven incorrect? Caching can be your best-friend or your worst best-friend. A poor cache implementation can mean the difference between experiencing blazing fast performance or unexplained random slowness, or both! It can even result in random stale (out of date) content which you can't explain.
In this talk we will compare different caching methodologies, and their perceived real world uses. We will discuss Donut cache, Memory cache, Redis, Varnish, CDNs, and many more. At the end of this talk you may be none the wiser about which caching methodology is best for your situation. However you will probably realise one thing... You have a caching bug in your code.
