The evolution of Drupal's composability: from the command line to the browser

Drupal's modularity allows developers to combine and reuse modules, themes, and libraries to create custom solutions. This modularity is one of the key ingredients that makes Drupal a composable platform. The original motivation behind Drupal's modularity was to accelerate the pace of innovation and democratize the experience of site building.

This blog post has two main goals.

First, we'll explore how Drupal's composability is evolving to empower ambitious site builders with modern, no-code development practices. Through exciting initiatives like Automatic Updates and Project Browser, Drupal will simplify the task of installing, composing, and updating Drupal sites, all within the Drupal user interface.

Second, we'll provide a retrospective on the past 10+ years of decisions that have led to significant changes in how end-users install, extend, develop, and maintain Drupal sites. By delving into Drupal's innovation process through a timeline approach, we'll showcase key contributors, significant milestones, and pivotal shifts in thinking that have influenced Drupal's approach to composability.
