Synopsis

2021 will be momentous for Drupal. After the release of Drupal 9 earlier this year, the countdown to Drupal 8’s end-of-life has already begun - with the date set for next November.  

Already Cyber-Duck has begun preparing many of our clients for this change, and the changes to come.  

As Drupal begins to compress the timeframe between upgrades, having a good understanding of their developments and roadmap is essential.  

On December 3rd (4PM GMT) we ran a roundtable event on what you can expect from Drupal in 2021 and the years to come. Cyber-Duck's Sylvain Reiter (CSO) and Duncan Worrell (Technical Lead) were joined by Drupal experts Matt Glaman (Bluehorn Digital), Suzanne Dergacheva (Evolving Web) and Alejandro Moreno López (Acquia). 

You can read the full recap here.
