NextJS in Drupal workshop
summary
Pantheon demonstrates a workflow that in about 15–20 minutes spins up a Drupal backend and a Next.js frontend, creates two GitHub repositories, wires SSR Next.js to Drupal content, and provisions PR-created ephemeral environments that build and deploy automatically when a branch is opened. The demo uses containerized sandboxes that sleep/wake, a contributed Drupal preview module (with client ID/secret tokens), and shows builds, logs and multi-dev isolation — the setup works end to end during the session.
