Acquia Source Wraps Drupal Canvas in Managed SaaS, Targeting Enterprise Needs: Tactis
Todd Coen of Tactis explains how pairing Drupal Canvas (formerly Drupal Experience Builder, targeting core adoption in late 2025) with Acquia Source aims to elevate Drupal to enterprise standards. Canvas brings a visual UI builder, structured components (props/slots), and a developer CLI for tighter dev–marketer collaboration, while Acquia Source supplies a managed SaaS layer powered by Drupal CMS.
The combined approach adds AI-assisted draft generation, real-time SEO/accessibility checks, centralized component governance, integrated performance monitoring, and enhanced security/compliance (including FedRAMP compliance options). Coen frames this as an evolution—maintaining Drupal’s flexibility while addressing hosting, governance, and risk management needs for larger organizations.
