Drush - The "drush" command is very useful for accessing and manipulating your website's settings and data from the command line.

Did you know that Automatic Updates are in the works for Drupal 9/10 as a contributed module?

The module applies patch-level updates to Drupal core in a separate, sandboxed copy of your site, to keep you up and running until the update is completely ready to be deployed. It can detect and report problems at every stage of the update process, so you don't have to find out about them after an update is live. It automatically detects database updates in an incoming update, and helps you run them during the process.

Optimizing the images on your website is crucial for performance, and in turn, User Experience, SEO, and more generally, the success of your site. The good news is that the Acquia Cloud Platform has built-in capabilities to help your site serve great-looking images that load quickly.

Let's break down the steps needed to put these capabilities to use:

1. Use the Built-in Utilities

When we think about how to make a Drupal website load faster, we often focus on how to make Drupal render the pages faster: optimizing queries, caching entities, and so on. But out of the box Drupal has several layers of caching enabled by default, and many popular Drupal hosts have additional systems in place like memcached and Varnish to further enhance the overall page load. In practice, the load of the page itself is often a small fraction of the overall time and data needed for a visitor to view a page.

Have you ever wondered why your code is running fine on your computer, but not for your colleagues? Can you remember the feeling you had the last time you failed to release an important feature on time because your local LAMP stack or Operating System failed after an upgrade? Who has time to do DevOps, stay up-to-date and secure, fix one-offs, or chase the next missing dependency? The price tag of DIY is very high. 

Acquia Cloud IDE is the best IDE to develop Drupal. It is a fully managed LAMP stack and IDE in the Cloud that is highly available, predictable and reliable. With it, your IDE is identical to your colleague’s IDE–same software versions, same configuration, and same experience. It is that simple.

So what was DDD Ghent like?

You may have noticed that dev.acquia.com was recently relaunched! As part of this refresh, a newly expanded Drupal 10 readiness dashboard was launched. A previous version of this dashboard helped with coordinating work on the update of Drupal 8 contributed projects to Drupal 9. This is how it works and what it offers.

Every week, the Drupal Association runs Upgrade Status on all contributed projects compatible with Drupal 9. The raw data is impossible to comprehend, so we process it and present it on an easy to browse Drupal 10 readiness dashboard.
