Thunder
Drupal distribution and content management system for professional publishers.
Thunder is a Drupal distribution, an install profile that adds publishing features to Drupal for professional publishers. Projects are created with Composer, and the setup guide covers local installation with Drush. The thunder_gqls module provides a GraphQL API for headless use. The Thunder Core Team maintains the project, and the imprint names BurdaVerlag GmbH in Munich as operator.
Worth knowing
The setup guide describes its quick start as suited to trying Thunder locally, not production. As a distribution, Thunder needs everything Drupal itself requires.
