Let’s face it—nobody likes to rely on patches. A project is much easier to maintain when it is using standard versions of all of its dependencies. Without patches, a project can be kept up to date simply by running composer update.
Pantheon has always provided full page caching at our edge layer so that your HTML responses are served as fast as possible to your website's visitors, as well as handling huge spikes of traffic. Now with the launch of our Global CDN, those cached responses and their metadata go to 30+ points of presence worldwide. Responses from your site will come much faster when the caches are physically closer to your site visitors.
Today I am extremely proud to announce Pantheon’s Cloud Integration Tools suite, comprised of Quicksilver Platform Hooks, a new release of our Terminus command-line interface, a new YAML-based project configuration interface, and broad compatibility with SAML for centralized authentication.

Editor's Note: This post was written collaboratively by Dharizza Espinach Barahona of Montreal-based Drupal experts at Evolving Web, along with Eric Michalsen of Pantheon.

DrupalCon LA was a complete blast. In addition to exciting announcements, amazing sessions and tons of fun side events, there were also a lot of super productive sprints that really pushed Drupal development forward. In the Drush sprints, the remaining issues tagged for Drush 7 were all reviewed, and either resolved or deferred, cumulating in the release of Drush 7.0 Stable today.
If you’ve spent much time upgrading older websites to PHP 7, it’s likely you have encountered the annoying situation where PHP notices are printed directly into the HTML output, causing them to display in an ugly, unformatted jumble at the top of the page. The effect looks something like this:
This post is for development teams tackling their first non-trivial Drupal 8 build, with multiple developers, and a timeline of several months.
Editor’s Note: This blog post and conference presentation was written for teams looking to migrate to Drupal 8. The ideas here are just as applicable to teams now looking to migrate to Drupal 9, 10, or 11. The big deal about Drupal 9 is that it is not a significant architectural change, compared its previous version the way Drupal 8 was a significant architectural change to Drupal 7.
