At SYSTOPIA, we have developed a large set of CiviCRM extensions, Drupal modules and other tools over the years. Currently, we are actively maintaining or co-maintaining over 60 repositories. Unfortunately, sharing knowledge about all the goodness with the community has notoriously fallen short. With this series of blog posts, we want to change that a little. Thanks for reading on!

Drupal 7 has an end of life in January 2025, which means no more security updates. Over 40% of CiviCRM sites are still using Drupal 7. Site owners should have a plan to upgrade. There are a few options: Drupal 10, WordPress, Standalone, or Backdrop CMS. This post focuses on the last option, Backdrop CMS, going into the similarities, differences from Drupal 7 and how to upgrade.
