Drupal Forge: Transitioning from WebAssembly Trials to Persistent Hosting
The introduction of WebAssembly for running Drupal trial sites in a user’s browser marks a significant shift in how Drupal Forge approaches site trials. According to a blog post by Darren Oh, Starshot's leadership decided to adopt this approach to prevent favouring a single hosting vendor. While this method allows for offline use and eliminates hosting costs, it comes with challenges such as limited accessibility and lack of persistence, as sites running in WebAssembly cannot be visited by others.
On the other hand, Drupal Forge offers a more efficient and accessible alternative, with faster startup times and the ability for users to share their trial sites via URL. Although not a hosting provider itself, DevPanel plays a crucial role in this process by covering the cost of site trials and facilitating transitions to persistent hosting. The ongoing collaboration with developers like Matt Glaman aims to streamline the migration pathways from trial sites to long-term hosting solutions, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
