TYPO3: From underdog to international CMS TYPO3 is a free, open source CMS that’s been around for 23 years. Universities, airlines, banks, and cruise ships around the world use it and love it for its reliability, structure, and stability. Robert Douglass compares TYPO3’s success to a “David and Goliath story, where the scrappy open source project came along and overthrew proprietary software.”

TYPO3’s unique multisite and multilingual capabilities TYPO3’s strong multisite and multilingual capabilities make it a popular choice for international companies who manage multiple brands. TYPO3 can support thousands of sites, users, and pages within a single install, all stored in one database.

Luisa Faßbender, TYPO3 Marketing Team Lead, says, “These companies are all around the world, and they don’t want to have 20 different websites and backgrounds. TYPO3 enables us to create really easy, fast, and good-performing websites effortlessly.”

The 10.4.1 LTS release benefits developers, marketers, and users TYPO3 already has features that help make developers’ and marketers’ jobs easier: like an easily navigable page-tree structure, easy extensibility, and a steady release cycle. The 10.4.1 release provides even more new and exciting features to explore.

For marketers and editors * realURL included * Update slugs more easily * Redirect management

For developers * Core-wide dependency injection * Get rid of APIs with Doctrine Dbal

For users * Integrated dashboard * TYPO3 has challenges, but it’s built for the long run

TYPO3 meets the needs of specific audiences very well, and it won’t be the right CMS for everyone. You’ll need technical knowledge to use it—like PHP and relevant web technologies. But as Benni Mack, the CTO of b13 GmbH, says, “If you build something with TYPO3, it may take you a bit of effort, but you can run it for a long time. TYPO3 is not there for building a website and throwing it down 8 weeks later. TYPO3 sites are here to stay.”

TYPO3’s new release is more of the same -- and that’s a good thing

Over time, TYPO3 has built itself a dedicated community with its reliability, stability, and great multisite and multilingual support. The 10.4.1 LTS release keeps up TYPO3’s standards while improving the daily lives of your developers, marketers, and users.

Migrating Java applications to the cloud Java is a popular framework that’s been a foundation for many enterprise applications for over 20 years. But lately, those enterprises have run into trouble: moving their applications to the cloud. This migration promises more security, reliability, and easier scaling, but it can be daunting with an older framework like Java. The host, @robertdouglass of Platform.sh, asks,

“With all these older versions of applications floating around in this huge plethora of runtimes and variants, does that make it harder for organizations to “lift and shift”, or to adopt cloud native philosophies?”

Speakers from Red Hat, the Eclipse Foundation, and Paerra address the Java toolbox that can help ease this transition.

Java toolbox for developers * Jlink -- A command-line utility which helps modularize your application and makes it possible to build your own JVM * Graal.vm -- A compiler that helps existing Java applications run faster, provide extensibility with scripting languages, and create ahead-of-time or just-in-time compiled native images * Transformer -- An Eclipse project that takes your application to the Jakarta EE namespace so you don’t have to recompile * Jakarta EE --The new name and face of Java EE, with all the same benefits: maturity, reliability, stability, and large community. Jakarta EE is a more enterprise-ready, cloud-ready, and microservice-ready version of Java.

What should hype up developers about working with Jakarta EE? Ivar Grimstad of the Eclipse Foundation says, “If you want to be future-proof and to be productive right away, you can write less code, less configuration, and less boilerplate to get up and running using Jakarta EE than any other framework.”

Make your life easier with Java tools Launching Java-built applications to the cloud can be difficult, but developers can minimize bumps by putting tools like Jlink, Graal.vm, Transformer, and Jakarta EE to work. Robert Douglass sums it up: “Stability, backwards compatibility, safety, and boringness are the hallmarks of the Java ecosystem these days, and they are really attractive features when the very act of software development is so fraught with risk.”

With @robertdouglass, Pierre Burgy (CEO, Strapi), Dustin Schau (Gatsby), and Preston So (Oracle).

Harness the power of Gatsby with your headless CMS The monolithic approach to content management, where you have two parts, the backend and the frontend, has been shifting. Now the “headless” CMS paradigm, where the frontend and the backend are separated, and an API replaces the frontend, is front-and-center. Pierre Burgy, co-founder & CEO of Strapi defines headless as a “CMS without a frontend.”

Adding Gatsby to the headless mix changes the direction of web development A headless CMS offers many benefits, like more seamless omnichannel and future-proofing content for marketers, and easier scaling and more power for developers.

Adding these benefits to Gatsby, a static site generator, is a powerful combination. Through source plug-ins, Gatsby decouples application resources from headless CMS options like Strapi, Drupal, and Oracle, providing benefits for developers, marketers, and end users like:

• Faster performance -- By automating code-splitting, lazy-loading, and prefetching resources, the end result is that Gatsby is fast, which makes for a huge difference in the end user experience. Dustin Schau, Head of Product at Gatsby, says, “The idea is to source content at build time, let servers do the hard work, and don’t offload that cost to the end user.”
• More robust security -- Security issues are common in popular content management systems. But the frontend and backend separation in a headless system means only the API is exposed, so your site is less attractive to hackers. Gatsby can help greatly minimize security vulnerabilities for a much more airtight site.
• Active open source community -- Gatsby is based on React.JS, a popular JavaScript library. This makes it much easier for developers to onboard themselves, learn, and share with each other. Gatsby's open source community is very active and welcomes new developers.

The combination of headless and Gatsby can take your site in a whole new direction It’s tough to hit the right balance for your marketers, developers, and end users. Gatsby makes a strong case for itself with its large community, high security, easier scaling, and fast performance, along with its ability to support headless CMS options, like Strapi, Drupal, and Oracle.

Our work lives have changed

During this episode, Robert Douglass goes live with the founders of Mattermost, Nextcloud, and Platform.sh to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the way we live and work.

There is no question that our work lives have been upended dramatically. With children staying home, there are new demands on our time. Most of us no longer commute to the office, and are carving out a place to work in our own homes, where space can be limited. Many of us are also struggling with the lack of social connection the office used to bring. On top of this, there is an ever-present layer of stress from simply living through a pandemic.

How tech companies handle remote work challenges We have much to learn from tech companies, especially those who are already remote, on the most effective way to adapt to these changes.

Choose your tools wisely -- Frank Karlitschek, the CEO and Founder of Nextcloud, says they have felt better prepared for the pandemic as a remote-first company, and they know what tools are most effective for them. Says Frank, “We use tools that let people work from where and how they want,” like Zoom, Google Hangouts, and Mattermost.

Introduce flexibility -- Mattermost is remote-first too. Corey Hulen, their CTO and Co-Founder, says flexibility in timing and working hours are crucial. One of their most effective strategies has been to adopt an “anti-meeting” mentality, which focuses more on asynchronous communication to get things done.

Think people-first -- Fred Plais, CEO and Co-Founder of Platform.sh, notes that they actively promote a family-first culture, emphasizing their number one priority is ensuring their employees feel taken care of. When the pandemic hit, Fred’s first step was to reassure all employees no one’s job was in jeopardy.

What the future of work may hold The shift toward remote work has steadily been on the upswing, but COVID-19 has massively accelerated the arc. Around the world, companies are suddenly questioning the status quo and whether they truly need big headquarters and long commutes. But all three CEOs agree this willingness to question and be flexible is a huge positive that has come out of such troubled times.
