Welcome to our blog page We'd like to share knowledge of the areas that are the most fascinating to us.

People who follow our blog already know that we’re using Docker at Droptica.

If you are a Drupal developer, it is almost certain you have heard of drush. Drush is a commandline utility which allows you to interact with drupal, well - from command line. Every Drupal agency or any one worth his salt who does drupal development, uses drush because it masively speeds up drupal development, saving time and money.  Drush comes with many built in commands, but you can also add your own.

When creating websites, you probably sometimes saw how your page changes its appearance on different browsers, not to mention a variety of devices. Depending on how many different configurations we will want to check, the amount of time spent on testing them will grow rapidly and the enthusiasm will probably decrease at a similar rate with repeating the same action on another device.

Content creation using the Paragraphs module is a completely different approach compared to the "standard" content creation in Drupal. In short: we prepare the components (paragraph type) and then, during the creation of an entry, we select any of the available components.  The components can be simple elements containing text, contents with columns or such complex elements as sliders, videos or photo galleries.

It is obviously necessary to look for and take advantage of tools which can be used when delivering Drupal development services. It's time for another dose of information about our work at the Droptica company. Today we'll cover file versioning and application testing. Subversion Initial projects implemented with Drupal (still as OPENBIT) used the Subversion system (also known as SVN, project website) for file versioning.

Clutch (a portal ranking development companies) named us as the global leader among companies working with Drupal. This is a great success. We are among the best companies working with Drupal worldwide. The results of our work are becoming increasingly more visible. Since the beginning, Droptica aimed providing the best drupal services.

Everyone who has ever worked in IT has surely stumbled upon communication issues between programmers and testers, or in other cases. Talking to programmers, you can hear many anecdotes regarding bug reports and feedback they have received. Working as a tester in a drupal agency, I see this issue from the other side, but I understand the developement team. When returning a task from tests, I often find myself wanting to write just: “It doesn’t work!”.

Over the course of recent years, websites have undergone a significant change. Many new services and social media websites have been created. Mobile applications now play a very significant role on the internet, and various on-line services exchanging data is nothing out of the ordinary anymore.

Time has already passed since the premiere of Drupal 8. New projects and modules are released all the time, and there is an ever-increasing number of projects compatible with version 8.x at drupal.org. Unfortunately, these versions are often still unstable and filled with various bugs. As of today, the number of additional modules available for Drupal 8 is around 2,250, compared to 12,400 Drupal 7 modules.

Drupal is a bit famous for the number of database queries done against a database. When there are thousands of concurrent users to be served, the database can quickly turn into a major bottleneck. This was the case with http://kwestiasmaku.com - a very popular website with recipes. The website is visited by millions of enthusiasts of cooking. When we started our cooperation with KwestiaSmaku, we initially focused on adding new features and functionalities to the website.
