Configuration Management for Backdrop CMS

Backdrop CMS is essentially Drupal 7 plus a Configuration Management System (and a few hundred other improvements).

Configuration Management is done differently in Backdrop CMS than it is in modern versions of Drupal. Come learn about Configuration Management in Backdrop, including:

• Best practices for how to manage configuration simply
• Best practices for how to manage configuration for multiple developers
• Best practices for how to manage configuration for multiple instances of your website (for example: on Pantheon)
• Comparing changes in configuration using the Configuration Management Interface
• Comparing changes in configuration using git diff
• how to deploy Configuration changes using the Configuration Management Interface
• how to deploy Configuration changes using git
• How to use configuration sets, or "Recipes"
• Coming soon: the "Features" module for Backdrop (using Configuration)

Backdrop's Configuration Management System is my favorite improvement because it saves me so much time during maintenance, upgrades, and site builds.
