Drupal 9 gave us an opportunity to upgrade our tools and refresh our examples, templates and developer experience - and Lando helped us do it

With the release of Drupal 9, here at amazee.io we had to make some changes to get our hosting platform and Lagoon itself ready to meet the minimum infrastructure requirements for Drupal 9.  We also took the opportunity to review our entire ecosystem of modules and examples, utilising the advances in Composer-based scaffolding now available in Drupal core to assemble these examples and templates and ensure for maximum Drupal 8 and 9 compatibility and upgradability.  In addition, through our partnership with the team at Lando, we've been hard at work on a Lando&Lagoon integration to give our developers more options for local development.  I'll be covering why this has been a really awesome experience, how we've co-developed through the whole process, and what else is on the horizon for us.

In this talk, I'll be sharing some useful tips and tricks for fully utilising Composer to do all your scaffold heavy lifting, how we organise our Drupal examples and configure our suggested modules, and how upgrading from Drupal 8 to 9 _can be_ a breeze.  I'll also go into an overview of how we've got our Lando integration working, and why writing tests can be a pleasurable experience 😱
