With the introduction of Drupal CMS 2, Drupal 11, and Drupal AI, Drupal has evolved from a flexible CMS into a modern digital experience foundation. It is built for organizations that need to launch faster, scale across markets, and adopt AI responsibly — without sacrificing governance, security, or data ownership.
As the largest contributor to Drupal, Acquia is well-positioned to provide useful guidance for you and your team on why to choose Drupal, what's new, and how to get started. So, we wrote the book on it.
This guide explores everything that's new in Drupal CMS 2 and Drupal AI, the rationale behind these changes, and how to upgrade to the latest version if you're on an older one — or where to begin if you're brand new to Drupal. We even take a peek at what's coming for the future of Drupal.
