Join LagoonCon Portland 2024

The Lagoon team has had another busy year. Find out what we've been up to, get a run-down on the new features that are available, and how you can utilize them best.

We're already well underway in our 2024 and beyond planning, so we can share with you some of the items that are on our near (and far) horizons. We'll cover some of our thinking, outline some scenarios, and paint a picture for you.

For those new to Lagoon, we'll cover what Lagoon is, where we see Lagoon fitting into your platforms and workflows, and provide some insight into what a successful Lagoon adoption looks like.

It's cool to pull delicious Italian recipes from unclassified recipe content, but how about feeding intricate technical documentation to the LLM?

Leveraging the potential of LLMs (large language models) to process complex technical documentation presents an interesting use case in API docs and developer portals - especially when combined with data sovereignty and privacy principles. We’ll examine the intricacies of feeding highly technical content into a private LLM, unpacking how this approach aims to help developers swiftly find answers from “Hello World” to complex apps, all while ensuring the data remains 100% sovereign. Having leveraged Lagoon, we'll discuss how an open-source hosting option played a role in deciding on our tooling, with a particular focus on the flexibility Lagoon offers, alongside the AI innovation the Lagoon community is undertaking.

We will explore the setup, outcomes, and takeaways, emphasizing why maintaining the privacy of data fed into the LLM is paramount for the end customer.

The Open Website Alliance was co-founded by major open source CMS communities TYPO3, Drupal, and Joomla. It represents an open effort to enhance web technology standards and practices across these applications. Lagoon provides Open Source web hosting solutions based on Kubernetes. Its developer-first approach promotes flexibility, reliability, and open source from top to bottom, significantly reducing web developers’ operational overhead.

Come along and see why these CMS communities are again rallying behind an open source approach and how embracing open source hosting can be a powerful complement to your open source strategy.

Join us in championing the open web from top to bottom: Your Open Website Alliance sites are built on open source software. Shouldn't they be hosted on an Open Source platform, too?

We’ll be wrapping up the evening with the chance to meet with and hear from the Lagoon team! A few of our team members will be at LagoonCon live and in-person, and the rest of the team will join us via Zoom from the other side of the globe. Hear about some exciting new features and updates directly from the maintainers and developers, and get a sneak peek at some of our demos.

This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a roundtable discussion with the team that makes Lagoon - so bring your questions, suggestions, and concerns! The team will also be available to chat during the networking portion of the evening and throughout DrupalCon.
