As with any large website development effort, one of the most important tasks is to be able to scale your organization’s efforts without having to increase the number of people on your development team. To help you accomplish this goal, Site Factory supports the use of internal and external tools that can allow you to automate many common development and management requirements.
For example, you can leverage the advanced API and hook systems included with Site Factory and the command-line power of Drush to simplify and streamline your development processes. You can then extend your team’s efforts by using the Acquia BLT toolkit and Acquia Lightning distribution, which enable you to scale your website development efforts without scaling your development team.
Along with the Site Factory Management Console, Site Factory provides additional tools for users who want to leverage the power of command-line scripting to further customize their platform to meet their needs. The following tools are available for your use:
