Understanding Drupal: A Complete Guide to Caching Layers

Sunday, July 5th, I did my livestream exploring DDEV-Live. DDEV-Live is the hosting counterpart of DDEV-Local. I use DDEV-Local as my local development stack, and I love its simplicity for running local environments with Docker.

I got an email today that CodeFund was shutting down. Two years ago I started using CodeFund to provide ethical advertising target towards a developer audience on my website. I used it as a way to supplement my income for my additional off-hours time spent on open source.

This Sunday (July 5th) at 10 am, I am going to sign up for DDEV-Live and give the hosting platform a try. I am going to go from zero to launch with a fresh Drupal 9 project. I was given a special coupon code that I will give out for folks that also want to sign up for DDEV-Live!

Here are some links from throughout the month that I found interesting.

This past Sunday I did a livestream where I tried out the new issue forks functionality on Drupal.org. The feature is currently beta and project maintainers need to opt-in for the functionality. At the moment you can create a repository fork for an issue, create a work branch, and commit to that branch.

Have you heard that Drupal.org now has issue forks for Git-based contribution versus patches? This means we can now work in a pull-request style workflow on Drupal.org issues. It's an opt-in beta, and I have not had a chance to work with the feature yet. 

On Sunday I did my first live stream where I upgraded my personal site to Drupal 9. It was a fun experience and I learned a few things – both for streaming and upgrading.
