Description

Last year, a global Drupal Developer Survey was conducted to gain insights into which tools and processes are used by members of the community to develop web applications with Drupal. The survey, originally called the Drupal Local Development Survey, was launched in 2018 by Jeff Geerling and Chris Urban. Due to the COVID pandemic, this survey was then suspended in 2021 and 2022 before Mike Richardson (username richo) restarted it in 2023 after contacting the founding members.
Among other things, the survey helps the community to gain valuable insights into preferences and best practices in software development and has been translated into various languages. I supported this project together with my colleague Alvaro Hurtado with translations for the German and Spanish versions of the survey. In this session I'd like to shed some light on the developer survey and present some of its results. I would also like to use the session to create awareness for this important survey so that an even higher number of participants can be achieved in future years, providing even more meaningful results for the community.
