Summary
Drupal core provides both foundational features and an extensible framework that can be used for building the application and customization. Projects provide modularity built into Drupal core. Drupal has projects for both frontend and backend development through its themes and modules. The community and contributions to Drupal core help to continually evolve and improve this foundation, and extending Drupal can often yield useful community contributions and address the needs of enterprise integrations. The next chapter covers the infrastructure needed to run Drupal and more about Drupal’s technical architecture.
