Scheduled - Start: 2026-05-04 13:00 UTC
End: 2026-05-04 21:00 UTC

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.

How to prepare Drupal CMS for local development and make it deployable?

Hey, let's say I initiated new Drupal project locally using official ddev instructions. Smooth and clean experience, all good. Now, what to do next? I would like to start develop - turn off twig and any other caching, enable debugging, ensure that .gitignore is prepare for a composer-managed project, configure config_sync_directory so i can store entire site configuration in a git.

Nothing special I would say - just a normal way of working on a stuff as a developer, while keeping the best practices.

And the question is: Where I can find some official docs so I do not have to use a tribal knowledge or guess whether I configured my gitignore, settings and services files correctly? Where i can read such an infos like why there is a dot in third line of .gitignore, after /vendor.?

Did I missed something or this part is not well documented?

HTML5 validation will be disabled in Drupal 12

HTML5 validation will be disabled in Drupal 12

Recently I audited a Drupal codebase containing a lot of custom form code and the author relied upon front-end validation way too often. You always want to validate form submissions server-side as well. I'm posting this because I sense that this change in Drupal 12 may prove impactful for many sites. Check your form validation code!
