Mediacurrent – Maximizing the Potential of Component-Driven Drupal Development with Gatsby

Mediacurrent, a web strategy and development agency, transformed its development process by adopting Gatsby, which significantly improved the integration and performance challenges faced with Drupal. Initially, Mediacurrent utilized a component-driven approach in Drupal, breaking down web page designs into components built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but faced issues with complex integration logic and performance setbacks within the Drupal CMS. By transitioning to Gatsby in 2018, they leveraged GraphQL to streamline integration, allowing frontend and backend teams to focus on their respective expertise without cumbersome CMS issues. Gatsby's static HTML generation and built-in performance features solved previous performance challenges, enhancing productivity and enabling the team to focus on frontend innovations like React. This transition has allowed Mediacurrent to efficiently handle smaller, frontend-focused projects and opened new opportunities for growth and development within the agency.
