Velir Enhances Drupal Development with DDEV Integration
Velir recently shared a blog post by Kevin Quillen, shedding light on their strategic move to merge their Drupal development stack with DDEV. This integration marks a significant milestone in their approach to web development.
At Velir, the utilization of various open-source libraries and tools has become integral to their everyday operations. Several years ago, the team incorporated Docker into their workflow, a decision that would prove to be a game-changer. In essence, Docker abstracts software and services into virtualized "containers" that can be seamlessly linked and deployed in the cloud or local machines, all guided by a configuration recipe. This innovation drastically reduces the time required for software installation, allowing team members to focus on more critical tasks.
Mastering Docker was a transformative experience for Velir, influencing every project since 2017. Over time, the company refined a development stack comprising essential scripts and tools. This stack was engineered to simplify creating and running Drupal projects, requiring minimal Docker knowledge. The primary objective was to expedite the development process, enabling teams to contribute value to projects swiftly.
As Velir undertook more Drupal projects, their knowledge base expanded, further enhancing their custom Docker stack. Lessons learned from collaborators with varying operating systems and distinct development requirements were incorporated into their internal stack, further refining their approach.
For a comprehensive understanding of Velir's innovative integration of DDEV into their Drupal development ecosystem, readers are encouraged to peruse the full blog post. The article offers a deep dive into the strategic decision-making process and the benefits derived from this transformative shift.
