😍🫶💪 >>> 2025-01-05 <<< is the *** NEW EOL *** for Drupal 7. #drupal #drupal7

[Dries Buytaert @Dries]

Important Drupal announcement! 📢 We made the decision to grant Drupal 7 one final extension before it reaches end of life. 🗓️ Mark your calendars for January 5, 2025, as it will be the official end of life for Drupal 7, with NO further extensions. https://t.co/5xC98qdHGy.

@ultimike @savvyfew and for twig templates?

[Drupal Southampton @sodrupal]

@yjimk @rickmanelius Agree. For example WordPress Advanced Content Fields (ACF) is a paid add on whereas fields are fundamental part of Drupal core. Also paid != open source, it's vendor lock in, reasonable concern behind the "scorn".

[Drupal Southampton @sodrupal]

@rickmanelius For various commercial services like Salesforce integration, MiniOrange provide free and paid Drupal module integrations, which make sense because Salesforce is a paid service anyway. Am example of a paid Drupal module. No affiliation.

@rickmanelius Non proprietary open source democratises building web sites. On the flip side for a funded project pragmatism can say whatever needed to get the job done.

This is encouraging news and impressive because its goal appears to be that works with PHP composer - the standard work flow for updating the code base. Well done and ongoing success to all those who worked on it!

The first release candidate of Automatic Updates 2.0 is available!

Special thanks to everyone who helped us beta test at @DrupalConNA and @drupalcampnj! Your contributions were invaluable and we've already fixed several things you found.

With fuel prices rising these could be handy!

Though wood burning isn't without its pollution impact.

@nmdmatt @webchick 2/2 The MySQL side seemed to me to be the tricky part with horizontal scaling, if bottleneck?

Maybe Drupal using MongoDB could facilitate a open common standard, avoiding bespoke designs.

[Drupal Southampton @sodrupal]

@nmdmatt @webchick Indeed, will watch with interest. Could enable common approach (and open sourcable IaaS) to horizontal scaling is of both the DB and PHP parts of Drupal in a containerised world such as Kubernetes. 1 / 2

[Drupal Southampton @sodrupal]

@webchick Well done on furthering your adventure into MongoDB.

Intrigued to know whether there are ideas to use MongoDB as a database for Drupal.

The horizontal scaling functionality is a potential major benefit here and perhaps aligns well to similar in containerisation of the PHP side.
