Has anyone successfully managed to use cloud storage with flysystem and S3 or Google Cloud Storage without the performance trade-off when generating image styles? My experience was terrible, even with image styles warmer module. The application heavily uses images and multiple image styles in addition to responsive images, which generate multiple resolutions per image.
Hi, I really would appreciate advice on a Drupal challenge I face. I'm managing the Drupal website of my orchestra, it started on version 10 and was recently upgrade to 11 by the DirectAdmin maintenance of the provider. Since the upgrade the site is unstable - running composer yields many pages of patches/upgrades after which the site breaks down completely.
As a solution I now setup a fresh v11 site that works fine.
The only small workload left is to export/import the content from the old site to the new one.
This is my first experience with a CMS platform - but have 20 years experience with self-built dynamic websites. For these, contents and platform are nicely separated and can be exported/import with little hassle.
I suppose Drupal also stores the contents (pages/articles) separated from the platform and that export/import should be breeze. However, I failed to find the protocol for this. Am I too naive ? Which tables have the contents ? Which cross-references should be updated after import ?
Apr 27, 11:37 UTC Resolved - The issue is resolved, and service is operating normally.
Apr 27, 11:07 UTC Monitoring - We identified the cause of intermittent HTTP 429 responses affecting some customers using Anthropic models on DigitalOcean Serverless Inference and applied a mitigation. Service has recovered, and we are monitoring stability.
Apr 27, 10:38 UTC Investigating - We are investigating an issue affecting some customers using DigitalOcean Serverless Inference with Anthropic models. Over the last two hours, impacted customers may have experienced intermittent request failures, including HTTP 429 responses, on some Anthropic model requests. Our engineering team is actively investigating the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and will share another update as soon as more information is available.

Apr 29, 15:29 UTC Completed - During the dry-run for the scheduled Core Infrastructure Maintenance, our team identified some potential risks that need to be addressed to ensure a smoother and safer implementation. As a result, we are cancelling the current maintenance window and will be rescheduling it to 2026-05-04 13:00-21:00 UTC.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to improve performance and scalability.
If you have any questions related to this issue, please send us a ticket from your cloud support page: https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket
Apr 29, 13:00 UTC In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Apr 27, 09:35 UTC Scheduled - Start: 2026-04-29 13:00 UTC End: 2026-04-29 21:00 UTC
Hello,
During the above window, our Engineering team will be performing maintenance on core control plane infrastructure. Please note that the existing infrastructure will continue running without issue. This maintenance may impact create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations in all regions.
Expected Impact:
During the maintenance window, users may experience brief periods of increased latency with the following platform operations:
Cloud Control Panel and API operations Event processing Droplet creates, resizes, rebuilds, and power events Managed Kubernetes reconciliation and scaling Load Balancer operations Container Registry operations App Platform operations Managed Database creation and scaling
We do not expect any impact to customer traffic due to this maintenance. If an unexpected issue for the control plane arises, we will endeavor to keep any impact to a minimum and may revert if required.
If you have any questions related to this maintenance please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket
A while ago someone on this sub posted about an AI exclusively for building Drupal sites that could do anything like modules, bug fixes, full builds, the whole site build. It stuck with me, as Drupal is pitched as a way for non-tech people to build websites with but getting to that point requires tech skills to lay the foundation.
Can see my previous posts about my progress so far (basically able to get a custom Drupal site running in ddev just from prompts) but wanted to pause and get some feedback from people who'd actually use this:
- Is chat the right interface, or would you rather have something more structured (wizards, forms, config-driven)?
- Where's your "doing this myself" line drawn? Content modeling? Custom entities? Views? Theming?
- If generic LLMs + your own workflow already cover 80% of this, what would the remaining 20% need to look like?
Just want to know if this is worth finishing or if most of you have already solved this with Cursor/Claude Code and I'm building a solution to a shrinking problem.

If you’ve managed large multilingual Drupal sites, you know the TMGMT module is a good way to go, but the actual translation process (especially with AI) can still feel a bit disconnected from the site's context.
We built an integration that lives directly inside TMGMT. The goal was to solve three specific issues:
Context: Choosing between 'Faithful', 'Fluid', or 'Creative' styles based on the content type.
Consistency: Using translation memories and glossaries so the AI doesn't hallucinate brand terms.
Layout: Ensuring the translated strings don't break your site's design.
We’re hosting a live, hands-on session on May 7th at 11 AM CEST to show the technical setup and how it handles complex nodes.
Roberto Peruzzo from Sparkfabrik will be there to dive into the dev side of things. If you have questions about TMGMT provider configurations or AI localization workflows, feel free to drop them here or join us live!

I have always created my own themes. This time, I am thinking of using the Mercury theme that comes with Drupal CMS. I am not sure how the theme updates are handled later with the themes that come with site templates. If I use Mercury and make changes, should I be worried if the updates can break my changes later? Should I create a sub-theme, or can I use Mercury directly without worrying about updates?
