Our Engineering team is 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

Mid level developer looking for some honest feedback on my resume.

Mid level developer looking for some honest feedback on my resume.

Hi everyone,

After spending a few years at my first developer role I decided to take a year out of work to go travelling in Asia, now I'm back and ready to enter the job market once again. I'd like your help to get honest feedback on my resume before I start applying for jobs.

I'm mainly looking for feedback on:

  • Whether my bullet points are strong and impactful enough.
  • If my experience comes across as real engineering work vs. just surface level tasks
  • Anything I'm missing and red flags or weak spots in my resume?

Thanks!

Lerd, an open source local PHP dev environment for Linux and macOS, with Drupal support

Lerd, an open source local PHP dev environment for Linux and macOS, with Drupal support

First time posting here. Sharing lerd because it has solid Drupal support and might be useful for folks who want a Podman-based alternative to DDEV or Lando without Docker Desktop, especially on Linux where the usual mac-first tools are awkward.

Lerd auto-detects Drupal projects via composer.json, handles the web/ document root, and gives you .test domains, per-project PHP version isolation (Drupal is strict about PHP requirements), one-command HTTPS via mkcert, MySQL or Postgres with one click, and Mailpit for email testing. Drush, Composer, and PHP commands all work through container shims so they pick up the right PHP version per project. Everything runs as rootless Podman containers, nothing touches your system PHP, no sudo required after install.

Highlights:

  • Auto-detects Drupal projects, including the web/ document root and the Drupal favicon path.
  • Per-project PHP version isolation, useful when juggling Drupal 9, 10, and 11 across projects.
  • Drush, Composer, and per-project PHP all run through lerd php so the right version is always used.
  • One-click MySQL or Postgres (plus phpMyAdmin or pgAdmin for browsing).
  • One-command HTTPS via mkcert, handy for OAuth / SAML / SSO testing.
  • In-browser PHP REPL per site with autocomplete and live linting, useful for poking at entity APIs without writing a temp script.
  • Full git worktree support with per-worktree DB isolation, so you can test a module update against a fresh DB on a feature branch without polluting your main one.

Would love feedback from Drupal devs, especially around Drush integration and module/theme dev workflows. If lerd looks useful, stars on GitHub help a lot with reach.

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

✇Drupal - Open Source Content Platform | #Celebr8D8
By: /u/Firflant
1 May 2026 at 05:57

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?
