DrupalCon DC was awesome!

 Just a quick (albeit very late) recap of the amazing time that was had in DC at DrupalCon.

Tree House was a proud gold sponsor!This was our third time sponsoring/attending a DrupalCon and it just keeps getting better and better.  The level of particiaption, quality of sessions, and overall professionalism has evolved exponentially over the years.  Hats off to Development Seed for not only organizing a perfect event but making it look easy while doing it.  Check out all the impressive stats on the DrupalCon DC website:  By the Numbers: Community, Profit, and Sustainability.

Scaling Drupal: Not IF... HOW

Thanks to all those that braved the early morning to attend our session at Drupalcon DC.  We think it was a good warm-up for the full track of excellent performance and scaling sessions on Thursday.  See you next year!

Abstract
What do Fast Company, The Big Money, The Onion, Lifetime Television, SonyBMG, Flex.org, DressupChallenge.com, and NowPublic have in common?

All are popular sites, some with traffic of a million or more pageviews a day. But there's more.

They all run on Drupal.

Some people still ask if Drupal can scale. We say, "It's not a question of IF, but HOW".

Come and hear how we scale sites like myLifetime.com, TheBigMoney.com, and DressUpChallenge.com.

The Case for Drupal in the Enterprise

Thanks to all those that attended our session at Drupalcon DC.  For those that missed it, we have the video and slides available.  Hope you enjoy it!

Abstract
It's the worst-kept dirty little secret of Drupal...large entities are still wary of using it for critical sites. Stability, security and scalability fears drive them to more expensive proprietary systems. But are these fears founded? And what is sacrificed by using proprietary platforms? Most importantly, how do you know if Drupal is right for you?

Mike Caccavano and Matt Westgate look at the pros & cons of Drupal for enterprise-level sites and address some of the most common concerns.
