Liferay Upgrade vs Modernization: What Are You Really Solving?

Introduction I recently reviewed an enterprise intranet portal that had been running on Liferay since version 6.0. The company had upgraded it multiple times over the years -6.0 to 6.4, then to 7.0, and eventually to 7.4 Update 60. On paper, they were on a modern version of Liferay. In reality, the portal was built like it was still 2010. If you...

Multiple Custom Elements in a Single Client Extension

Introduction: The development methodology of Liferay DXP supports writing modular front-end applications through the use of Custom Elements (Web Components).

Tracking Memory Leaks in React with DevTools and Performance Profiling
