DevPanel Case Study Shows DrupalForge Scaling 1,000 Sites in 10 Minutes
DevPanel has published a case study detailing how it helped launch DrupalForge, a scalable hosting platform capable of provisioning up to 1,000 Drupal sites in under 10 minutes. The platform was built in just four weeks to meet urgent community needs for disposable development and training environments, addressing the limitations of existing hosting tools that were either too rigid, costly, or lacked proper scalability.
Instead of building from scratch, the team used DevPanel’s orchestration engine to automate site creation across AWS, DigitalOcean, and Azure. The platform was built on an auto-scaling Kubernetes infrastructure that dynamically manages resources. This setup enabled rapid environment provisioning and integrated security and compliance from the beginning. Developers working within Drupal, WordPress, Symfony, and Laravel ecosystems can now test and launch projects without waiting for full cloud deployments.
The platform delivered substantial gains in speed and efficiency. Environments spin up in less than five seconds, and hosting costs were reduced by up to 80 percent. Tools like VS Code come pre-installed, improving developer experience and productivity. DevPanel uses the case study to illustrate how using a proven orchestration layer and prioritizing auto-scaling early can allow teams to build production-grade infrastructure in weeks rather than months.
