I’ve setup quite a few existing Drupal 7 websites, but setting up a brand new Drupal 8 site is a little different as you can do so from the Composer template and save lots of time. Although it is possible to run Drupal 8 sites without Composer, I strongly suggest you use it.

I just bought a new Mac and decided I would install everything from scratch, no migration just a nice clean machine with only what I really needed on it.

Title says it all.

In August, 5 months ago, I compiled a list of the top 40 UK Drupal companies for contribution in this Medium article. Since then many things have changed, and I was intrigued to see what differences there were to companies in the ranking.

I’ve met developers that are using Drupal 8 but not using Configuration Management as they’re not familiar with it (or even scared it’s too complicated). Instead they move databases around, constantly exporting, importing and sending to eachother. This takes a lot of time, is error prone unless you take lots of care to and means developers are waiting for eachother to finish before they can start working with configuration.
