oEmbed: The ecosystem, challenges, and bridging the gaps

Join me on a harrowing journey through the oEmbed ecosystem in Drupal.  Together we'll take a look at:

  1. A 10,000 foot overview of oEmbed itself -- what is this thing?
  2. A very brief history of media management in Drupal
  3. The state of oEmbed in modern versions of Drupal
    1. What does core offer?
    2. What does contrib offer?
  4. A candid review from a grizzled developer that also wears a Marketing hat
    1. What works well?
    2. What doesn't work well?
    3. How did we make everything work well?
  5. Introducing: oEmbed Lazyload - a unique, modern, and scalable module developed in order to bridge the gaps in the oEmbed ecosystem
Prerequisites

None!  Although the end might get a little bit into the back-end API weeds 🤓.

Hi, I'm Luke!

I work in higher education providing marketers with innovative solutions to complicated problems. While self-labelled as a back end developer, I routinely work with the entire spectrum of what one might expect in the early 2020s ranging from "fun" frontend things that need refactored every couple years to keep up with the Javascript Joneses, to rock solid cloud infrastructure that persists for decades.
