In this episode, Martin and Jürgen explore the modular API that reshapes ECA’s architecture, enabling decoupled configuration via Modeler API—an evolution key to supporting AI-powered workflows and diverse orchestration UIs. They discuss ECA 3.0’s revamped internal structure—now object‑oriented with attribute annotations—and how this streamlines contributions and future enhancements. Jürgen shares his vision of integrating Drupal with external orchestrators (like N8N) and expanding interoperability via MCP for smoother AI integration. He also highlights the vibrant AI Initiative within Drupal—focusing on collaboration across agencies to build sustainable, maintained AI tooling.
In a lighter but equally insightful segment, Martin and Jürgen swap travel hacks—packing light, using travel routers, 3D‑printed conveniences, and keeping a balance between Drupal travel and photography—showcasing personal workflows that enhance both travel and creativity.
