One of the great things about the Pantheon platform is that it provides a very easy way to apply updates to your Drupal sites. All that you need to do is navigate to the dashboard for your site, and if there have been any new releases for Drupal core, you will be able to see an "Apply Updates" button. Just click this button, and you'll be ready to run some tests and deploy to production.
Choosing the right developer portal for your business is crucial. The developer portal often serves as the foundation of a successful API Program—it's a place for your developer community to thrive and grow, and houses your API products. When you use Apigee to manage APIs that you build, it often comes down to a simple choice: the integrated developer portal that comes with the license, or a Drupal developer portal.
Making sure your website is secure is an important part of not only the development of the site but also its ongoing maintenance.
As web developers, we take website security very seriously. Drupal has some security best practices baked into its APIs that let developers create their own modules, hopefully with secure code, to contribute back to the community.

My journey of discovering the web began in Japan in the late 90s. I was living and working in Takaoka as a high school english teacher and our school was able to participate in an early pilot of internet connectivity that fascinated myself and my students. Suddenly, learning a new language came alive for them as a way to communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Exciting things are happening in the world of Drupal! But with Drupal 8 reaching end of life, and Drupal 7 support now extended through 2022, it can be a bit confusing. We’ll break this all down in the following post.
Today marks the release of Drupal 9.1, the first new feature release for the web’s favorite enterprise-grade, open-source CMS.

According to the official statistics, there are nearly a quarter million websites running Drupal 8. With today’s official end-of-life date, a lot of people out there may be feeling a little nervous. We have quite a number of customers who are in this position, so I wanted to take a moment to provide some advice to everyone who is operating a Drupal 8 website today.
