Drupal
Drupal is far more than a CMS — it is a content management framework for demanding applications with complex data structures and fine-grained permission models.
Core Concept
A focus on structure: Drupal strictly separates content, configuration, and presentation. Through its powerful entity model, almost any data relationship can be mapped without custom programming.
Assessment
- Use case: Large portals, knowledge bases, and government projects (GovTech).
- Advantage: Extremely secure, highly scalable, and a very strong community for enterprise modules.
- Limitation: Steep learning curve and significantly higher maintenance and update overhead compared to WordPress or Grav.
