DDEV Development Tool

DDEV is an open-source development environment designed to simplify the setup and management of local development environments for PHP-based web applications, particularly those using content management systems like Drupal, WordPress, and TYPO3. It leverages containerization technologies like Docker to provide a consistent and replicable environment, ensuring that developers can work efficiently across different systems and configurations. By automating many aspects of the development workflow, including environment setup, configuration, and dependency management, DDEV helps developers focus more on coding and less on troubleshooting environment issues.

Updates

Adopt

We've adopted the tool after it has proven to reduce time to setup our projects. At the moment it's being used on 80% of our projects.

Trial

We're trying out DDEV for local development of Website Standards which is particularly challening as it consists of a decoupled frontend and backend as well as supporting services. A select group of developers is also using DDEV for a couple of new projects.
