Drupal Development Considerations

Before start any development, we used to work on the planning. What technology we can choose to develop a web application, how feasible for us to use that technology, what is the global community size, how often we get the support from the global community, what is the current status of the development and their future plan,etc. Like that we use to consider many factors before we consider any technology for our web application development.

In above all the factors, Drupal stands tall because

• It's a open source. Any one can download from drupal.org website and freely we can use it and enhance or modify as per our requirement.
• It's developed using PHP language. PHP is the one of the very famous server side scripting language. It's easy to learn and it's a perfect choice for a transactional and non-transactional based we application. May tech giants are using PHP as their backend script for their business. One of the best example is Facebook.
• Drupal have vibrant community all over the world. Many volunteers spending their valuable time to make the Drupal is the best CMS in the world. This vibrant community created many freely available standalone modules/widgets/themes and we can download it and use it for our use cases. You will get great support from the community members in quick time from all around the world as this community spread all over the world.
• As Drupal have great community, the ongoing development and support is enormous. Because the activity community keep focusing the security consideration and improving the system by adding various other third party library like Symfony framework components, Twig template engines, etc. They keep releasing the security updates at the same time community works on the further developer to make the web application development and user experience better than ever. Current stable version is 9.4.8 and Drupal 10, which is ready to release on Dev 2022, is under development.

So keep all the above points in mind, many governments are started using Drupal for their web applications also it's used in e-commerce sector as well. Overall, Drupal is the best pet for whoever is looking to develop best, secure web application with minimal cost and short period of time.

We will see many other great news about the Drupal in coming days. Keep an eye on this space.
