Acquia BLT: Build and Launch Tool for Drupal

Build, test, and launch Drupal applications and enterprise-level sites faster with flexible, efficient, and automated workflows out of the box.

Get a Leg Up on the Legwork

Acquia BLT is an automation layer for continuous integration and development of advanced Drupal projects. BLT saves setup and onboarding time while improving quality and collaboration through tried-and-true best practices. BLT provides both a common set of tools and standardized structure.

Highlighted Features

Testing Framework

Fully functional, default configurations for Behat and PHPUnit tests. BLT provides the libraries, configuration, commands, and example tests to get you up and running quickly and make sure applications work.

Prevent Code Merging Issues

BLT uses pre-commit local Git hooks to check staged code against Drupal coding standards before it ever leaves the developer's machine.

Patching Workflows

Enforce proper patching workflows for modified core and contrib. (BLT does not commit any dependencies to the canonical repository.) Instead, it downloads and patches dependencies as part of a build process that generates a production safe artifact.

Project Automation Tasks

BLT includes commands for syncing environments, compiling front-end assets, and executing tests.

Deployment Artifact Generation

Acquia BLT includes building production-only dependencies and sanitizing production-environment code.

Continuous Integration and Deployment tools

Acquia BLT supports both the Acquia Cloud Pipelines feature and TravisCI. With minimal configuration, your new Drupal site will be performing code validation and running automated tests for each GitHub pull request before the code is merged.
