Drupal

Is Drupal actively maintained?

We cannot measure this one. Drupal is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at git.drupalcode.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.

Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.

What Drupal actually does

Drupal is an open-source content management platform written in PHP and distributed under the GPL-2.0 licence. It functions as a foundational system for structuring, managing, and publishing digital content on a web server. While the official feature set is broadly described, systems of this type generally handle user permissions, database storage, and template rendering for websites.

Best fit: It is suited for administrators looking to deploy a self-hosted content management platform using standard PHP hosting environments.

Worth knowing: The provided repository data shows no recent commits or tagged releases, which may indicate a lack of active upstream development or an incomplete mirror. You should verify the stability and maintenance status of the specific source channel before relying on it in production.

Deployment notes

As a PHP application, it typically requires a web server such as Nginx or Apache, a separate relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL, and persistent storage for uploaded media files. You will also need to configure TLS termination via a reverse proxy.
