DrupalCamp Florida 2024: sharing takeaways from the experts

I had the pleasure of returning to DrupalCamp FL (DCFL) again this year and even now in its sixteenth year, DCFL 2024 was as lively and energetic as ever. Approximately 130 people descended upon Florida Technical College to share their experiences and knowledge surrounding Drupal and I’m here to share the highlights!

Limit deployments to Platform.sh only with tags: part one

Throughout the years, many users have asked us if it’s possible to only deploy to Platform.sh when a tag is pushed using a source code integration. The answer is: with our current source integrations, it's not—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Platform.sh is based on Git and because of this, acts as a remote for your code repository.

Standardizing your web application stack and how to do it

Managing web applications from the ground up can be a daunting task. One application alone can quickly grow in complexity, let alone the multiple applications that are often required by different business units and stakeholders growing simultaneously. Add the ever-changing landscape of trendy frameworks and runtimes, and you quickly find yourself with an unmanageable mess of different technologies. Standardizing your application stack can help reduce the clutter.

Proudly announcing Platform.sh's participation in the Data Privacy Framework (DPF)

As individuals become increasingly conscious of their personal data and how it is used, compliance with data protection regulations is a top priority for organizations worldwide. However, a challenge arose with cross-border transfers of personal data between the EU and the US following the Schrems II ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union, leading to the creation of a new privacy framework.

Zurich, a new low-carbon-powered public region, now available on Platform.sh

The new Platform.sh Swiss public region empowers organizations to meet sustainability, data localization, and compliance requirements in the Zurich Google Cloud region. Our new public region has been launched in response to increasing demand from Swiss businesses—and those with an international footprint doing business in Switzerland—that need to ensure their data is held locally.

Simple. Streamlined. Secure. Effortless user management has arrived with Teams

Have you ever found yourself dreaming of an easier way to collaborate on projects? Tired of individually managing users across multiple projects? Or perhaps you long for the day when auditing user access across your organization can be done in a flash? Well, you’re in luck!

We can't wait for SBOMs to be demanded by regulation

Old ads can be startling—cigarette ads used to boast their health-giving properties, sugar-laden candy was once advertised as a dietary aid, and soft drinks were advertised as a milk alternative for babies. None of this would fly today, of course, thanks to regulations. Foods must be advertised more responsibly, and they must list their ingredients clearly on the packaging, especially allergens.

A festive treat: PHP 8.3 is already available on Platform.sh

Just like the feeling you get when you hear the first notes of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" signaling the arrival of the festive season, PHP developers can also rejoice in the release of a special gift this month—PHP 8.3. As many of you may already know, a few days ago PHP 8.3 was released and after some testing, it’s now ready to use on all Platform.sh projects.

How software company security priorities are changing

The cyberthreat landscape continues to change along with technological advancements. Industry thought leaders expect to see changes in software companies’ approach to security and the defenses they put in place to protect their businesses and their users. Here are five of developers’ cybersecurity priorities for 2023 and predictions for how software companies will adapt their processes to address them.

International data protection with EU-entities of US-headquartered IaaS providers

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a legal mandate across the EU, requires enhanced protection for EU personal data transferred to countries with inadequate levels of data protection safeguards—including the US. The EU-US Privacy Shield, which was in place until 2020, facilitated these protections but was invalidated by the Schrems II ruling as a result of US surveillance concerns.
