by Pankaj Kumar We consult, design & build digital products for yo

Drupal 8 is nearing its expiration date on November 2nd 2021. This means that post November 2, 2021 there will be no community support, or updates, or bugs fixed. We must be aware of the reasons for this.

Drupal is the all-purpose CMS that we are familiar with, makes use of specific third-party dependencies.

How does your website once Drupal 8 is at EOL

There is nothing to fix it immediately. However, without support for critical issues and corrections to bugs the framework is likely to begin to fail and, after a period of time, will hit the point at which your bottom line starts becoming affected. In the worst case scenario this could even lead to a cyber-attack leading to data breaches and cyber attacks.
