Blog /Drupal modules

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.

As of today, the number of additional modules available for Drupal 8 is around 2,250, compared to 12,400 Drupal 7 modules.
