Recipes, Site Templates, and Distributions: Modernizing the Approach to Repeatable Success with Drupal

Drupal is transitioning from traditional distributions to a more flexible approach using recipes and site templates, enabling developers to quickly build pre-configured websites without long-term lock-in constraints. Recipes and site templates replace Drupal distributions with a flexible, ephemeral solution for faster, more maintainable site building. This modernization reduces setup complexity while preserving the ability to customize and maintain sites independently over time.
