To start with, what is Drupal? Drupal is an open-source management backend framework that is available online for free and is written in PHP. It is suitable for both professional developers, who have an advanced API, and for common website users, as it doesn’t require any specific IT skills for launching and administration. This has made it a popular choice for any type of website, from personal blogs to online stores and government websites. It is one of the world’s most used frameworks and is very common with high-traffic sites.
What makes Drupal different from other Content Management Systems is its flexibility and scalability. Websites using Drupal can use any of the multiple modules already available for the software. World–renowned corporations are choosing Drupal because of its robust and flexible infrastructure, innovative design, and open-source modules.
NASA
When faced with the task of migrating NASA’s high-profile content, selecting the right content management system was fundamental. Building with Drupal on the Amazon cloud ensures that NASA’s content is securely stored and scalably available, while affording NASA the benefit of very flexible development capabilities when in designing, implementing and integrating new features and services. With its user-driven APIs, dynamic host provisioning, infinite compute scalability and storage, well-architected security architecture, and continually developed robust new features, AWS and Drupal proved the perfect match to meet the content needs of both NASA and the public.
Australian Government
The Australian Government – one of the websites built with Drupal – gives information on basically anything related to the country. From government info to visas and tourist attractions. You can find information about education, health, and environment. It is also possible to check local news and social media and get to the governmental portal.
Taboola
Utilised by giants like BBC, Huffington Post and USA Today, Taboola is a platform for content marketing which allows you to display any content related to the user's previous search.
Tesla
The world’s best electric car manufacturer is one of the largest Drupal website examples. Tesla used Drupal to build their multi-language websites.
Pinterest
Working closely with the engineering and design teams at Pinterest, Phase2 architected a Drupal 8 system to elevate their global brand and drive growth via a new suite of marketing, business, and community sites. By using the same templating engine, along with the help of the Component Libraries Drupal Module, the tool gives Drupal the ability to directly include, extend, and embed the Twig templates that Pattern Lab uses for its components without the need for template duplication.
Twitter
Yes, Twitter is also using Drupal. Even though Twitter itself is not built on Drupal, it uses the software for their developers portal. This is where they provide their API, documentation, and forward you to the Forums.
eBay
eBay company website is also built on Drupal. This is where you can get detailed information about the company, apply for jobs or check anything that’s happening. It’s eBay’s official communication channel.
Harvard University
One of the oldest and most prestigious universities was built on top of Drupal's modular structure and has a complex multi-page website available for visitors. You can find all the information about the university, the terms of admission, scholarships, and much more. The website also has social media accounts integrated into the website, as well as some videos and news.
Stanford University
Another top US university has also chosen Drupal as their platform. The website provides information for existing and prospective students. You can find all the news and information required for your ongoing or future studies. Stanford also allows you to learn about the research going on in the university. The Emmy Awards
Previously a static HTML website, with a few custom PHP components, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences migrated to Drupal largely because of the positive experiences various Academy members and other industry leaders have had with using this open–source framework.
