HeroDevs Reflects on a Year of Supporting Drupal 7 Users

Staff Reporter

With Drupal 7 officially reaching its end-of-life (EOL) on January 5, 2025, HeroDevs reflected on its journey supporting users of the legacy platform. Since onboarding its first customer in September, HeroDevs has worked to provide stability, security, and continuity for organizations relying on Drupal 7.

By participating in key events like DrupalCon Portland and Drupal GovCon, HeroDevs deepened its understanding of the Drupal ecosystem and built meaningful connections. A critical early success involved maintaining a mission-critical site for a client by delivering tailored updates and security patches.

HeroDevs faced challenges like handling neglected modules and diverse client needs but adapted by refining its onboarding processes and expanding its support for custom modules. Post-EOL, the company remains focused on proactive module maintenance, rigorous testing, and client-focused solutions to ensure a seamless transition for Drupal 7 users.

This guest blog highlights HeroDevs’ commitment to sustaining the Drupal 7 community beyond its official support period.
