DDEV Foundation

I’ve spent a lot of time working with Drupal over the years, and one of the tools that has had the biggest impact on my day-to-day productivity is DDEV. Maybe that sounds strange, but anyone who’s been building websites for a while probably remembers the days of manually configuring local environments, wrestling with MAMP/WAMP/XAMPP, maintaining custom VM setups, or spending hours trying to figure out why a project worked on one machine but not another. DDEV changed that for me. Spin up a project, pull the database, and get to work. It removed so much of the friction from local development that I barely think about it anymore—which is probably the highest compliment I can give a developer tool. The best tools aren’t always the ones that get the most attention. They’re the ones that quietly save you time every single day and make the hard parts feel easy. Huge thanks to the DDEV maintainers and contributors for building something that’s become such an essential part of my workflow. What developer tool do you use every day that you think deserves more appreciation? #Drupal #DDEV #OpenSource #WebDevelopment #DeveloperExperience

⚠️ #DDEV macOS users: avoid OrbStack 2.2.0 for now due to an upstream networking regression: https://lnkd.in/eCmiasAs If you are already on 2.2.0, downgrade: https://lnkd.in/eDTFBzTJ

May is Maintainer Month. The people behind the tools we rely on are doing incredible work and do not always get the support they deserve. Fund their work, or help spread the word. Some of the maintainers in the community looking for funding: Randy Fay is the lead maintainer of DDEV Foundation, the local development tool that over 19,000 developers rely on every week.

Open Source collaboration is so great! Read how TheDropTimes' generosity, thoughtfulness, and creativity inspired a whole huge iteration in #DDEV's exposed public sponsorship data, allowing clearer communication with all of DDEV's stakeholders. https://lnkd.in/daUNHFhT

MacBook Neo with #DDEV: Works great. I did a from-scratch setup and demo of DDEV on one yesterday, https://lnkd.in/guaDJRuJ It only has 8GB RAM, but that sure didn't affect me demoing a couple of projects. I would always buy a mac with more RAM and more disk. And the one I got doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, so I would want that always also.

Has anyone out there tested #DDEV on macBook Neo? I imagine it is fine with its 8GB RAM. I wouldn't buy it for professional dev over the long haul, but bet it works fine. If you have, please let us know your results. Thanks!
