Reinvent your website with the power of Drupal 9
Drupal 9, the next step in Drupal’s evolution is built upon Drupal 8. As drupal.org aptly puts "Unlike previous new major versions, Drupal 9 is not a reinvention of Drupal". This we feel have far-reaching business and developer ecosystem implications, the primary being that Drupal users will have much easier upgrade paths from here on now.
Thanks to Semantic Versioning, new features and new tech will start flowing in Drupal 9, giving business and developers the advantage to spend less time on upgrades / upskill but to focus on delivering business value through Drupal.

Drupal's Roadmap


Benefits of choosing Drupal 9
Backward compatibility
Drupal 9’s backwards compatibility enables it to use data, modules, and configurations from Drupal 8; unlike the case with Drupal 7 and Drupal 8.
Rich media management
Along with embedding remote content such as Youtube/Vimeo videos, Drupal 9’s Media Library is built into the editor and acts as a repository to manage and upload/bulk upload your media.
Embrace Headless CMS
Drupal 9’s API-first approach enables you to enhance your sites user experience with a powerful front-end (implementing JavaScript frameworks like React & Angular).
Future-proof Architecture
With all upgrades streamlined and simplified, the Drupal community is focusing all its future innovations on Drupal 9.
Powerful visual design
The layout builder transforms the whole experience of creating web pages with features like template control and a user-friendly interface making it a powerful visual design tool
Blazing performance
Drupal 9 takes the mobile-first approach further by lending its support for responsive images; mobiles will display the best-sized images, thereby consuming less data.
What’s new in Drupal 9?
Updated theme’s and modules
Almost half of the themes and modules in Drupal 9 have either a stable or a developer version. That means Drupal 9 is compatible with these themes and modules. The remaining themes and modules have a working patch.
Third-party dependency updates
With all deprecated functionality getting removed, Drupal’s load of dependencies will get significantly lighter. Drupal 9 cutting down on third-party dependencies, has improved its stability and security.
Custom codes for deprecation
For custom Drupal websites, tools like Drupal Check and Rector are available for checking deprecated codes. Developers can also use an integrated development environment to manage the deprecations.
Enhanced Drupal core
Drupal 9’s core code is similar to Drupal 8.9 except for deprecated parts and third-party dependencies. Since you don’t have to remove any code from the core, the upgrade from Drupal 8 to 9 would be a seamless process.
