Fabian Michael

Fabian is a designer and frontend developer from Marburg who has spent his career moving between both disciplines — he eventually stopped trying to separate them. For him, code is basically just another design tool. He has worked as a freelancer on a wide range of projects and for clients all over the world, and was part of the Kirby team from 2016 to 2019. Since 2024, he has been working as a Frontend Engineer at reinorange. He occasionally illustrates, too. While being away from his computer, Fabian is probably tinkering on bicycles or can be found somewhere out in the woods.

Talk: Kirby at scale

Fabian is giving this talk together with Markus

Can Kirby really handle large, multinational websites with very specialized requirements? Of course it can! We want to share our learnings from many years of building, hosting, and running large Kirby-driven websites with you.

We will cover everything from different approaches to content architecture, including market-specific content and internationalization. Let’s also talk about truly modular layouts and things like color theming and how you can be very effective by sticking to “boring” frontend architecture. Furthermore, we will also talk about hosting, running Kirby behind a load balancer, and publishing setups with separate staging servers. Join us on our survey of tackling ever more complex projects and growing as a company while sticking to Kirby as the CMS of our choice.
