Drupal Core strategy

Drupal Core, the platform for building customized CMS solutions

This is the 2025 - 2028 three year strategy for Drupal Core. It provides clarification between Drupal Core and the new Drupal CMS product.

Drupal Core is a platform that empowers both low-code users and experienced developers to create powerful, user friendly CMS solutions. It supports a broad spectrum of projects, from no-code tools like Drupal CMS, which allow marketers and content creators to manage and publish content effortlessly, to advanced, high-code architectures designed by skilled developers, including headless CMS solutions.

This strategy eliminates internal competition. By introducing Drupal CMS to serve as the user-facing product, Drupal Core is now clearly defined as the underlying platform and framework specifically for "CMS builders". Drupal Core no longer needs to be everything to everyone; instead, it provides the powerful, high-code and low-code architecture that organizations use to build their own specialized solutions.
