Drupal 7 Extended Support

The Top Five Reasons Why You Should Stick With Drupal 7 in 2020 and Beyond.

Drupal 9 was launched yesterday! There will be no shortage of buzz about how you can get your site upgraded and ready for Drupal 9. Obviously, it's the best Drupal ever, and it's positioned well for the future. However, are you well positioned for the future?

According to Drupal.org, Drupal 9 is scheduled to be released on June 3, 2020. It is scheduled to be released alongside a "LTS" minor version of Drupal 8 at the same time. What happens with Drupal 7?

There are three important things to know - and some associated dates:

• When does community support end?
• When does extended support end?
• What should you do?

In November 2021, Drupal 7 will be End-of-Life (EOL). To continue getting security updates, you'll need to get Extended Support (D7ES). But if you sign up before EOL, you'll get automatic security updates until then AND a better price when EOL comes.
