Best Tools for Drupal Development

Drupal 8 is being used everywhere! Drupal development requires a combination of web servers, front-end frameworks, Cloud-based software, programming languages along with databases and testing tools.

Drupal 9 Is Ready! And AddWeb Is Ready For It?

Drupal 9 Is Ready

Drupal 9 is going to launch in June 2020. How is Drupal 9 differing from its earlier version Drupal 8 and what can we expect from Drupal 9.

AddWeb Is Well Aware of the Benefits of Drupal 9

 

 

Benefits of Drupal 9

 

  • Drupal 9 Development is being made on Drupal 8 which means there is no extra set of code written for Drupal 9. A new functionality Backwards-compatible code is added with experimental features.
  • There is an embedded media library for the ease of authors who use Drupal 9. Once Drupal 9 becomes functional, there is no need to add media externally. Users can add them internally.
  • Symfony 3 – Drupal 8’s dependent web application framework is going to end in November 2021, which means bugs arising from symphony 3 will not be fixed after November 2021. Drupal 9’s dependency will be either on Symfony 4 or 5.

AddWeb’s Readiness for Drupal 9!

To be ready for Drupal 9, there’s an essential to-do list mentioned below:

  • Ensure that you have updated your website(s) with any latest minor releases that come now and till June 2020.

Drupal 8 to 9 Upgrade & Migration

Upgrade & Migration

AddWeb Solution is always up to date with the technology advancement and well-acquainted with the new versions as well. To deliver compelling content through Drupal, migration to Drupal 9 is inevitable. As Drupal 9 is targeted for the release in June 2020, many of you might be wondering about the preparations needed for the same. The good news is that this upgrade would be rather an easier one, easier than the previous upgrade that was from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8. Upgrade from 8 to 9 would be easy if you have been regularly checking for and removing the use of the deprecated code. So, the only caveat would be to manage the "deprecated code" well. If your website is not using the deprecated code, which is scheduled for removal in Drupal 9, then your Drupal 8 to 9upgrade and migration would be an easy one!

 

According to a recent study, there are approximately 18 lakh Drupal customers, around 5 lakh live websites using Drupal and an additional 11 lakh sites that used Drupal historically. Drupal is the 5th most popular CMS in India in Open-source category. From the market share trends and statistics, it is clear that the future scope of Drupal is very huge. There is an enormous growth of Drupal CMS compared to other open-source CMS. With its super flexible working environment and upgrades to the highly improvised Drupal 9, it is going to become an amazing Content Management System with lots of career options to explore.

At AddWeb, we love Drupal!
