In the 2024 Drupal for Civic Engagement webinar, Pantheon’s Chief Strategy Officer Josh Koenig and CI&T’s Global Head of Engineering Luis Ribeiro highlighted the challenges faced by the public sector and how Drupal's composable nature provides a solution. Ribeiro presented how Drupal and Pantheon played a pivotal role in addressing the challenges faced by the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

They often can’t go full “digital native” since that would cut off some constituents, but the comparison for what good looks like is consumer-grade software. Legacy processes and platforms slow everything down. In a landscape where institutions have existed for decades, if not a century or more, overcoming these challenges requires a flexible and innovative approach.
The post-pandemic world did not revive the appetite for quality journalism in print. TP’s circulation went down from almost 30,000 to 20,000. Amazon discontinued its Kindle Newsstand edition for print and newspaper subscriptions.

What does this new, day-to-day workflow look like? Compare how Custom Upstreams stacks up against Drupal Multisite.
