Deep dives
Understanding Drupal Distributions
Distributions in Drupal are essentially packages that combine the Drupal core with a collection of additional modules, themes, and configurations designed for specific purposes. They can be compared to a fully furnished house, ready to use, while the Drupal core is like an empty lot that requires building from scratch. This analogy emphasizes that distributions not only bring necessary functionality but also align with common industry needs. The podcast highlighted the Varbase distribution as an example, which simplifies web development by bundling useful features for a variety of organizations, including nonprofits and corporate sites.
