With Drupal 7 we got EntityFieldQueries and big possiblies to use the Drupal API to render our content independent of which database we use to store our field entities in. With solutions like Views we are more or less stuck with MySQL/MariaDB – which could be perfect for small and medium size websites, but if we want to build websites that could manage a lot users, and many of them is logged in, we maybe want to use something like MongoDB and other NoSql databases. If so, we could not use Views.

In this sessions we will show how you could use EntityFieldQueries with Panels, Page Manager, Display Suite and MongoDB to create quick websites that could handle many logged in users which are independent of which database backend you are going to use.
