Drupal theming has always been powerful, but modern frontend expectations demand new tools and workflows. Enter Vite and TailwindCSS: two technologies that dramatically improve speed, maintainability, and developer happiness.
This session dives into how to integrate Vite into your Drupal build system for lightning-fast hot module reloading, optimized builds, and a smoother DX. We’ll pair that with TailwindCSS to show how utility-first styling enables scalable, consistent, and efficient theme development without fighting CSS architecture.
You’ll see live examples, performance benchmarks, and lessons learned from real projects. Attendees will walk away with practical steps to start modernizing their own Drupal frontend workflows, regardless of project size or budget.
