Drupal 7 EOL and how long will Drupal 9 be Supported

How long will Drupal 9 be supported.  Currently, it is 2023. This is a crucial question for Drupal site owners and builders. While that may seem like a long time away, upgrading from Drupal 8 to 9 is relatively easy compared to previous upgrades from Drupal 5 to 6 and 6 to Drupal 7.

Where does this leave the Drupal 7 sites that still need to be upgraded to Drupal 9? The year is 2022, and Drupal 7 continues to be supported for a bit longer to help developers and owners with the upgrade process.

Drupal 8 and 9 have really come into their own in recent years. Drupal 8 offered significant enhancements compared to Drupal 7, and the contributed modules are looking promising for the future of Drupal.

Getting back into parallel computing with Apache Spark

Returning to parallel computing with Apache Spark has been insightful, especially observing the increasing mainstream adoption of the McColl and Valiant BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) model beyond GPUs. This structured approach to parallel computation, with its emphasis on synchronized supersteps, offers a practical framework for diverse parallel architectures.While setting up Spark on clusters can involve effort and introduce overhead, ongoing optimizations are expected to enhance its efficiency over time. Improvements in data handling, memory management, and query execution aim to streamline parallel processing.A GitHub repository for Spark snippets has been created as a resource for practical examples. As Apache Spark continues to evolve in parallel with the HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), this repository intends to showcase solutions leveraging their combined strengths for scalable data processing.

Drupal 8 Performance Test

This is a link to a blog post to perform a performance test  Drupal 8 written by Darrell Ulm  with Drush and the Drupal site_audit module from May of 2016 . So the basic idea is in Drupal 8 the same Drush utility, site_audit, can be used to figure out all kinds of things how your install is working. We can check for best practices, caching, unused content types, and stats on the database.  We can also look at what modules are installed, a security overview, users, views, and Drupal Watchdog entries. This is a pretty useful module, and much or more of the reporting is likely available for the major Drupal hosting platforms. It's safe to say than using this module for most any Drupal site is a good idea to profile the site for any issues, performance, or otherwise, virtually an auto-include. Wordpress , Tumblr
