By replicating data between the 2 applications there are no unnecessary coding made to either application's data model or data access model. Because each application can talk with its own database as they were intended you get the full set of features of each application as they are meant to work. There are many options in terms of scaling the application, for example you can have a low end Alfresco implementation combined with a high scale large volume Drupal frontend and vice versa. #canopy #alfrescodrupal
