Since its initial release in 2011, Drupal 7 has been a robust and versatile platform, powering countless websites and applications around the world. However, technology evolves rapidly, and as newer versions of Drupal emerged, the time has come for Drupal 7 to retire. This means that the Drupal community, including the core development team and module maintainers, no longer provide active support or security patches for Drupal 7. While Drupal 7 will continue to function, the lack of official support raises concerns about the long-term viability and security of websites still running on this version. It is essential for website owners and administrators to understand the implications of Drupal 7's end of life and take appropriate actions to ensure the continued success and security of their online presence. This landing zone is here to help you get started and find the right resources to migrate your site to ensure your application is secure and has modern online presence.
