SFDUG: The Drupal Forge Experience

Setting up a Drupal environment used to mean an afternoon of local config, container headaches, and “works on my machine” surprises. Drupal Forge changes that — spin up a fully-configured, shareable Drupal site right in your browser, in seconds.

Will Kirchheimer and Darren Oh walk us through what Drupal Forge is, how it works under the hood, and how virtual, terminal-agnostic environments let you demo distributions, test modules and recipes, run trainings, and onboard new site builders — without installing a thing.

Whether you’re evaluating a new module, building a quick proof of concept, or teaching someone Drupal for the very first time, you’ll leave with a faster, friendlier way to get from idea to running site — development infrastructure without the tears.
