Wed 13:55-14:35

This session takes you on a journey from zero to a fully functional hybrid search engine. We will walk through implementing Elasticsearch in Drupal, starting with the basics and advancing to a sophisticated solution that combines semantic understanding with rule-based precision for a healthcare platform.

Discover how building a custom DDEV add-on transformed development workflows for 110+ Drupal projects and 30+ developers.

Learn practical patterns for standardizing local environments, automating repetitive tasks, and creating team-wide tooling that scales across your entire organization.

Digital participation platforms increasingly collect large volumes of citizen feedback — but meaningful analysis of this feedback remains a major bottleneck for practitioners. In the DIPAS Analytics project, we combine Drupal with AI-based natural language processing (NLP) and urban data in understanding and acting on participation data more efficiently and transparently. We will show our designed and implemented workflow for analyzing this data for the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
