Worked on Folha de S.Paulo's Content Management System which fast tracks the company's processes for creating and publishing digital content in different formats. The Gutenberg CMS is easy to use and configurable - with features for creating new news contents, pages, publishing of media and sharing of web components across the client's multiple websites and blogs. It uses Laravel on the backend, React.js for the rendering of pages on the frontend and a Durin API as its primary source for content.
The Durin API - Folha de S.Paulo’s news and media Rest API was launched in 2015 to unify news and media content previously created and published by the client from different sources.

It has an entire cache layer app that provides the maximum performance and efficiency for the API, atomic content invalidation across multiple pages and server instances developed using Varnish Cache: which authenticates and authorizes users on the system before serving content.
