I recently held a live stream where I walked through the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) of a Drupal project to DigitalOcean's App Platform and other CI/CD items. App Platform has its quirks, but it's simple to build an application with various components.

I use DDEV-Local for my local development stack. DDEV leverages mkcert for trusted local development certificates. The mkcert tool has been a missing component in my local development stack for a long time. And, the best part, it has worked without any problems. Until this week.

This is the first of two blogs detailing how to build a middleware leveraging ReactPHP to consume data from an API, normalize it, and then push that data into Drupal through JSON:API. In this example will be grabbing data from the PokéAPI.
