Customer Spotlights | Partner Testimonial # An Engineer's Take on Acquia Source Acquia Source is a front door to the Drupal ecosystem, and it is a wide one. Drupal is among the most capable content platforms in open source: the architecture is mature, the module ecosystem runs past 50,000, and the community is one of the strongest anywhere. What Acquia Source adds is a start that does not ask a team to solve all of it at once. Begin with the site in front of you, and the rest is there when you want it. In this video, Endre Soo, a lead engineer at manifesto, explains what that changes. He spends his days on Drupal and decoupled Drupal builds, so he speaks from inside the platform. His read on Acquia Source: a gateway to a bigger system, and a foundation solid enough that a small first site can become a much larger one without a rebuild. He sees the reach widening as well. Building is no longer only a developer's job, so an adventurous site builder or a marketer can put a real site together without waiting on engineering. He is just as interested in what the platform connects to, from design tools that could turn a Figma layout into components to the AI systems he expects to plug in. Two minutes, and worth it if you are weighing where a Drupal build should begin. Endre rates Acquia Source highly for prototyping. Watch the full story to hear what he thinks it makes possible: a short path to a live site, and a foundation that grows with the ambition rather than capping it.
