RL066 Ryan Schuhler on creating liferay.com
A while ago I sat down with Ryan Schuhler. He's Associate Program Manager at Liferay, which is a fancy name for Webteam Lead, and we talked about "dogfooding" Liferay DXP to build liferay.com - which features are used, how the site evolved and what is fed back into the product.
Or, in more detail, here are some talking points
- the versions in use and how Liferay DXP is used to build the different liferay.com sites.
- How use of the features changed over time - e.g. today, marketing authors are writing their own content, utilizing Content Pages
- How similar pages are maintained - using events as examples
- Integration of external tools into the site - e.g. for analytics, marketing, business development, and who's working with that data
- What goes back into the product? Feedback? Tools? Integrations?
- Maintainable Plugins (my presentation in german language) (via LDSF-On-Demand 2020 https://www.liferay.com/de/web/l/events-ldsf-dach-recap) and the Maintainable Plugins Challenge (english) https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/maintainable-plugins-challenge
- To what extent does Liferay DXP get extended for use on liferay.com vs using stock features?
- The infrastructure required to run liferay.com
- geographically distributed clusters vs recent developments in accellerating the speed of light ;)
