Enterprise moves slower, but I doubt that after another Drupal development cycle (5+ years) the momentum will still be there.
Sure, there will be plenty of legacy Drupal sites to maintain, but I have a hard time imagining developers even in very corporate context using it when they can address these points with more modern approaches.
For example using a content API like Contentful or equivalent and building simple front-ends that scale and are secure: no need for 4 layers of caching when you're basically serving static assets. As long as your API is secure, you're good to go. And finding folks who can write JS, HTML and CSS is a lot easier than finding Drupal "experts".
- snowwrestler 11y agoDrupal is evolving toward what Contentful does, and Drupal brings a huge international community and customer base with it. Companies are already building sites this way with Drupal--the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is a pretty high-profile example. You would have no idea from the front-end code that Drupal is managing the content on that server, but it is.
- hunvreus 11y agoI believe one of the main reasons Drupal got popular was the module ecosystem. A move towards what you describe would likely erode this aspect, with many more user friendly and maintainable alternatives.
