We've recently changed the editing experience in Bootiga for our Drupal Commerce theme.

We started with Drupal's Layout Builder, but after testing it with non-technical store owners, we wanted something more intuitive.

So we've moved to Layout Paragraphs + Mercury Editor — and so far, we're really happy with the result.

Our goal with Bootiga is to make Drupal Commerce as easy as possible for non-technical users.

Do you know of any better alternatives to Mercury Editor for this? What would you choose today if the main priority was the best possible editing experience for the end user?

Hey, Robert from the MariaDB Foundation here. We run a yearly survey on how people actually use MariaDB. If you went with MySQL, PostgreSQL or something else we want to hear from you too :)

Drupal was one of the most common applications running MariaDB in last year's survey. I'm curious, what database are you using Drupal with, and how did you choose it? Any problems or wishes related to the database?

We revamped the questions this year and split them by role (developer, DBA, operator) to save you time. Over 400 answers so far, looking forward to reading yours. Anonymous results will be published at mariadb.org/survey.

Thanks for taking the time!
Cheers, Robert at MariaDB Foundation

Been doing Drupal migrations for about 10 years and seeing the same thing play out right now that happens every EOL cycle.

Teams think they have until December 9. They don't. Enterprise change freezes typically start mid-November. Some nonprofits freeze earlier because of year-end giving. A proper D10 → D11 migration takes 2-4 months.

So if you're starting now, you're already in rush territory. Starting in October means going into December with things half done.

The other thing nobody talks about — most good Drupal agencies are already booked into Q4. You're not just racing the calendar. You're racing everyone else who also waited.

If you want to check where your site actually stands, run this:

drush pm:list --status=enabled

Check every contrib module against drupal.org/security. That list will tell you exactly how much work is ahead. Happy to look at anyone's output if they want a second opinion.
