Vortex is a Drupal project template designed to streamline onboarding, accelerate development, and support long-term maintainability.
It provides a complete foundation for building and deploying Drupal sites β including containerized local environments, automated testing and code quality tools, CI/CD pipeline configurations, and integrations with popular hosting platforms. Everything is pre-configured and ready to use, so teams can focus on building features instead of setting up infrastructure.
By standardizing project structure and tooling, Vortex ensures a consistent developer experience across every project that uses it. Whether youβre starting fresh or joining an existing Vortex-based site, you can get up to speed quickly and start contributing right away.
The template is actively maintained and kept in sync with the latest tools. Every change is verified through automated tests to ensure updates remain stable and reliable β reducing the risk of regressions and making it easier to maintain projects over time.
