Backed With $1.3 Million, Pantheon Launches Drupal-Based Development Platform
- rdl 15y agoThis sounds more PaaS than SaaS.
- knieveltech 15y agoThis is correct.
- nir 15y agoWe were lucky to get into their beta and for the past 6 months been building our site on their platform. Great platform, great team.
- mcantelon 15y agoCan you run custom modules on it?
- greggles 15y agoYeah, you commit to git, they deploy. You could probably run some non-Drupal stuff on it though the dashboard and features are optimized for Drupal.
- jemond 15y ago[I work at Pantheon] Yes, you can run your custom Drupal site on it, contributed or custom modules.
- nir 15y agoYep - we have about 15 custom modules and counting..
- gustaf 15y agoCongrats on the announcement Zack & Team!!!!
- nowarninglabel 15y agoHappy to see some competition enter the market, to keep Acquia on their toes and continuing to innovate.
- dreamdu5t 15y agoI find it curious that the Drupal architecture was never succesfully duplicated in another language.
- netaustin 15y agoWe launched TheFix.com on Pantheon, very early on (eight months ago), and have been really happy with the platform. Pantheon costs them about 20% of the server cluster we would otherwise have recommended. This is an bigger deal, from a tech perspective, than the TC story implies. Automating Drupal hosting and really solving the developer workflow is a real feat. Most of what Rails or Django has in config files or framework-driven build scripts is stored in the database. This makes staging and deployment kind of a pain.
