Build faster with the "Rain" Drupal 9 Distribution

Good news: if you’re planning a Drupal 9 project, you don’t have to start with a blank slate. In this session, we are going to talk about the benefits of using the open-source Rain CMS as the “starter” for your next Drupal project. We will walk through the demo site together to show how Rain saves time for developers and site builders.

We will also help the audience understand what they need to get set up with Rain. This includes how to download and install using Composer and DDEV. As part of this session, we will also discuss theming approach and how to implement customizations while still taking advantage of all the built-in functionality.
