Drupal is dead. Long live Drupal!

Today is the day!

Fourteen years after its original release, Drupal 7 is now end-of-life and will not receive any more security or compatibility updates.

I remember building my first Drupal 7 website while working as a Junior Developer at an agency and have built a lot of Drupal 7 websites since 2011.

I maintained the Override Node Options module and contributed to other projects, including Drupal Commerce, Commerce Kickstart and Drupal 7 core.

I cut my teeth with automated testing and test-driven development in Drupal 7 with SimpleTest.

It's been a big part of my career.

But I'm looking forward to seeing Drupal continue to evolve and what's to come in Drupal CMS later this month.

So long, Drupal 7.
