One of Drupal's biggest strengths is its ability to create semantic relationships between pieces of data. But what happens when site builders take these relationships too far?

We'll explore some of the most recent trends in site building like Paragraphs, Entity Reference Revisions, Field Collection, and Entity Reference in general.

Then we'll look at some examples of sites that abuse these references, creating performance, storage, and editorial issues.

Finally, we'll look at some of the new storage architecture used in the layout initiative and how entity references can be used in a reliable matter.
