Track: Web Tools & Complementary Technologies

Building and maintaining Drupal projects can be overwhelming with the sheer number of configurations, tools, and workflows involved. What if you could skip the tedious setup and jump straight into development? Enter Vortex—a project template designed to handle the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what really matters: building great websites.

Vortex is a Drupal project template designed to handle the tedious yet essential parts of project and tooling setup so you don’t have to. With over 50 pre-configured features and configurations, it covers everything from code quality tools and automated testing to deployment workflows and CI integrations. Production-grade container images and streamlined CI setups ensure that all pieces work seamlessly together out of the box, letting you focus on development instead of troubleshooting tooling.

One of the standout benefits of Vortex is its ease of onboarding. Comprehensive documentation guides developers through every aspect of the template, making it simple for new team members to get started quickly. Whether switching between projects or joining an ongoing one, Vortex reduces the learning curve, ensuring everyone is productive from day one. Its unified developer experience minimizes inconsistencies and surprises, while still allowing room for customizations when needed.

If you’re tired of spending days setting up CI, deployment scripts, and tooling for every project, this session is for you. We will discuss how Vortex’s extensive features and detailed documentation simplify workflows, reduce overhead, and help you deliver projects faster and with greater confidence.
