![]() Or, you have setups that deploy their codebase to multiple front-servers. Or perhaps you have a continuous integration/deployment pipeline. Maybe you have a version control system in place. Second, that updating files on your live server can be a no-go. First, that moving and/or overwriting the files of your codebase is a security risk. Two issues are often raised about having automated updates. This brings us to the next segment, which mostly applies to agencies and organizations using Drupal professionally. This means that having automated updates is important for the “professional” group of Drupal users as well. Second, it will make it easier for organizations and agencies to maintain websites. First, it will help securing your site (or your client's site) when time-critical security updates are released. In the presentation, Dries also points out some important positive effects of having automated updates. Consequently, having automated updates is important for the “non-professional” group of Drupal users. Which in turn is something that can help us reach more users, and increase our diversity. Not only because I promote running automated composer updates with violinist.io, but because having these features will make Drupal more viable for hobbyists and beginners. Like for Dries, automatic updates is an important issue to me. Instead of only focusing on those tools (and promoting violinist.io), I want to expand on the subject of automated updates in Drupal, and its future. ![]() This demo demonstrates tools that are available now. So without further ado: here is the demo! Which is why I made a video of just that. This triggered a thought: with the tools we have today, and as composer support is fairly decent, we can actually demo this somewhat utopic goal now. So obviously… I would need your help with that… but that would be fantastic. I hope that in Drupalcon Amsterdam.in six months… I will be able to stand on stage and actually give some sort of demo. ![]() In the presentation, Dries talked about automated updates for Drupal, a thing I am very passionate about myself. Last week Drupalcon North America was held in Seattle, where Dries opened the conference with the traditional "Driesnote".
