Blog Article Compares Drupal and microCMS

Drupal Service Provider Studio Umi's recent blog post by Drupal Engineer and author Keisuke Ikedais compares Drupal and microCMS. The blog article 'Comparing Drupal and microCMS' was published on April 5, 2023. 

Drupal is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) known for its high extensibility. Some consider it more like a web framework than a CMS due to its ability to easily add modules and customize functions. With over 1 million installations worldwide, Drupal offers flexibility in managing both the back-end and front-end of websites, making it suitable for large-scale sites and complex requirements. The blog article discusses Drupal features, including its seamless integration with external systems, easy export/import of CMS settings, and robust multilingual support.

On the other hand, microCMS is a popular API-based headless CMS from Japan. As a headless CMS, it lacks a front-end display function and instead delivers content data through an API. This allows content to be shared across multiple channels, including websites and mobile applications, ensuring scalability across devices. microCMS offers the advantage of being a cloud service, eliminating the need for infrastructure setup and allowing quick site deployment. It also provides flexibility in implementing the front end using various tech stacks and supports multi-channel content delivery.

In summary, Drupal's strengths lie in its extensibility, robustness in managing complex requirements, and multilingual support. It requires advanced skills for implementation. On the other hand, microCMS offers advantages such as cloud-based infrastructure, flexibility in front-end implementation, and multi-channel content delivery. The choice between the two CMS platforms should be based on factors like project scale, requirements, development system, and timeline, recommends the article.
