 This podcast Titled "Distributions are dead, long live distributions - a Drupal CMS story" features Adam and Tim from the Drupal CMS team at Acquia discussing their innovative approach to building Drupal sites. They explain why traditional Drupal distributions have inherent problems like inflexibility and difficult updates, leading them to create Drupal CMS using a new paradigm centered around "recipes" and "site templates." Recipes are presented as modular, composable units of functionality that can be used independently and have no lifecycle, contrasting with traditional distributions' all-encompassing nature. The discussion highlights the use of Composer for dependency management, DDEV for standardized development, and a monorepo for managing the various recipes. They also touched upon the evolution of install profiles, the future of site templates, and community collaboration in building and sharing recipes.
