UPGRADING OR MIGRATING TO DRUPAL 8/9
The release of Drupal 8 marked a turning point in the Drupal community. Drupal 8/9 contains a lot of improvements over Drupal 7 in terms of performance, security or architecture, and also hundred of new features. The integration with Symfony framework is a huge improvement, but also implies profound differences with respect to Drupal 7. A successful migration to Drupal 8/9 needs a reliable and expert team, really up to date.
- Migration to Drupal 8/9 from other technologies
- Upgrading from previous Drupal versions
- Migration and Upgrade can include secure data migration, user interface (theming), custom features and third party integration. Migration will be based on best Drupal tools, scripting, intermediate data models, QA definition and testing procedures, systematic monitoring and staff training and support.

BACK-END AND FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT
Although Drupal is usually intended just as a Content Management System (CMS), we have build complex systems where Drupal was acting just as the Backend, serving information to different front-ends via API/REST. We have also used Drupal as the front-end for other systems, like search index services or Document Management Systems. Drupal is not only a CMS but also a very powerful framework, very adaptable and perfect to be integrated with other services in complex systems. We offer the following services to our clients:
- Drupal 8/9 development, backend and theming
- Drupal custom module (features) development
- Large multilingual websites
- Multisite architectures
- Responsive and mobile websites
- Backend development, for third party integration Via APIs
- Front-end development with SASS/LESS + AngularJS using Drupal as backend

DRUPAL QUALITY ASSURANCE
If you ask experienced Product Owners about the difference between having real QA on track during live product development and maintenance, and not having QA at all, they will probably summarize it as the difference between a walk in the woods and a walk along a minefield. We count on dedicated and experienced QA teams, that are used to work with Drupal development teams to ensure the development efficiency and the quality of the deliverables.
- QA applied to agile development and delivery methodologies (Agile QA), with acceptance testing definition during product backlog build and grooming
- Drupal Continuous integration (Jenkins) with automatic code inspection (PHPCS), unit testing (PHPUnit) and functional testing (Selenium), Performance metrics (JMeter) and Responsive test (Galen Framework)

PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY
It is said that Drupal websites usually present performance issues, when they are stressed with several concurrent logged-in users. We have built Drupal websites visited today by almost 1M users per month, with page load times below 1 second. That is possible thanks to a combination of a continuous profiling and several teams activities and knowledge like:
- Server side optimization, cloud or on-premise: Apache systems architecture and services, mysql, varnish, memcached, REDIS, Cloudfront, S3, etc...
- Drupal module architecture, optimizing the number and the combination of contributed and custom modules
- Front-end optimization (page load and view-render level), including HTML, CSS and JS libraries optimization
- Media and content optimization, including not only optimization at file level but also looking for lazy loading strategies
