Enterprise Drupal success starts with architecture — not modules. We design scalable, secure, and composable Drupal architectures for organizations that operate across multiple markets, business units, and digital channels.
Whether you are building a new platform, modernizing legacy Drupal, or preparing for long-term growth, we architect Drupal ecosystems that remain stable, extensible, and maintainable over time.
Many enterprise Drupal platforms suffer not from lack of features — but from weak architectural foundations.
Over-customized modules, unclear content models, unmanaged integrations, and missing governance structures create long-term technical debt.
As complexity grows, performance drops, deployments slow down, and scaling becomes risky.
Without proper architecture, every new feature increases instability.
We analyze current architecture, integrations, performance, and content structure.
Architecture decisions are aligned with business strategy, governance, and growth plans.
Future-proof content schemas designed for multi-channel delivery.
Clear API contracts and integration boundaries with CRM, CDP, ERP, and search systems.
Caching layers, load balancing, and cloud infrastructure planning.
Automated deployment pipelines and configuration management best practices.
Enterprise Drupal Architecture establishes a structured foundation for large-scale, multi-brand digital ecosystems. The architecture combines multisite governance, composable design, API-first delivery, advanced configuration management, and cloud-native infrastructure principles into a cohesive system. It separates concerns between content, presentation, and integrations while maintaining centralized standards and controlled deployment workflows. Security, compliance, and scalability are embedded at the architectural level rather than added retroactively. The result is a maintainable, integration-ready platform capable of supporting global growth and long-term modernization.
Unified yet flexible architecture supporting multiple brands and regions. A shared Drupal foundation enables centralized governance, reusable components, and consistent standards while allowing brand-level customization in design, language, content strategy, and integrations across global markets.
Decoupled components enabling headless or hybrid experiences. Modular architecture separates backend, frontend, and integration layers, allowing Drupal to orchestrate content while external services, APIs, and modern frontend frameworks operate independently yet cohesively.
Drupal as a structured content hub powering web, mobile, and third-party apps. Built with REST, JSON:API, and GraphQL capabilities, the platform enables multi-channel delivery while preserving structured governance, scalability, and long-term architectural flexibility.
Granular config deployment without overwriting production environments. Environment-aware configuration strategies allow safe deployments, incremental releases, and multisite-specific overrides while protecting production stability and reducing operational risk.
Role-based access, data separation, and compliance-ready structures. Architecture is designed with least-privilege principles, secure workflows, and structured governance to support enterprise compliance requirements, audit readiness, and controlled data exposure.
AWS / Acquia / containerized environments optimized for performance. Infrastructure is designed for scalability, resilience, and high availability, leveraging containerization, caching layers, load balancing, and automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure long-term operational excellence.
Our delivery approach focuses on building a durable architectural foundation that supports long-term scalability, security, and business evolution. We combine technical precision with strategic clarity — documenting decisions, mapping integrations, and designing infrastructure that aligns with your organizational goals. The result is not just a Drupal implementation, but a structured, future-proof platform blueprint that empowers teams to innovate with confidence and grow without architectural limitations.

A well-defined Drupal architecture reduces long-term maintenance complexity and prevents costly rework driven by fragmented technical decisions. Standardized foundations accelerate feature delivery while preserving governance and stability across teams and regions. Cloud-native scalability and structured configuration management lower operational risk during releases and expansions. Compliance-ready access controls and documented workflows support audit requirements and internal governance standards. For executive stakeholders, this translates into predictable scalability, improved development efficiency, and a digital platform aligned with long-term enterprise strategy.
A clean, standardized architecture minimizes legacy patterns, fragmented integrations, and ad-hoc customizations—lowering long-term maintenance and modernization costs.
Modular, composable foundations enable parallel development streams and reusable components, accelerating release cycles without compromising governance.
Structured deployment workflows, configuration management, and cloud-native design ensure predictable scalability under growing traffic and organizational complexity.
Role-based access control, documented processes, and secure architectural boundaries align editorial, operational, and regulatory requirements.
Centralized multisite management and standardized infrastructure reduce duplication across brands and regions, lowering ongoing operational overhead.
API-first architecture and integration-ready design support expansion into new channels, markets, and enterprise systems without disruptive re-platforming.
With Drupal 7 reaching end-of-life, Veolia needed to migrate its multisite platform to Drupal 10/11 while preserving region-specific content and multilingual capabilities across more than 200 sites.
The platform was modernized into a stable, scalable multisite foundation with improved performance, maintainability, and long-term upgrade readiness.
“As Dev Team Lead on my project for 10 months, Oleksiy (PathToProject) demonstrated excellent technical skills and the ability to handle complex Drupal projects. His full-stack expertise is highly valuable. ”
UNCCD operated four separate websites (two WordPress, two Drupal), leading to inconsistencies in design, content management, and user experience. A unified, scalable solution was needed to improve efficiency and usability.
The modernization effort resulted in a cohesive, user-friendly, and scalable website, improving content management efficiency and long-term digital sustainability.
“It was my pleasure working with Oleksiy (PathToProject) on a new Drupal website. He is a true full-stack developer—the ideal mix of DevOps expertise, deep front-end knowledge, and the structured thinking of a senior back-end developer. He is well-organized and never lets anything slip. Oleksiy understands what needs to be done before being asked and can manage a project independently with minimal involvement from clients, product managers, or business analysts. One of the best consultants I’ve worked with so far. ”
The existing platform relied on three unaligned WordPress installations and embedded PHP code, creating inefficiencies and risks in content management and usability.
The new Drupal DXP streamlined content operations and improved accessibility, offering scientists and businesses a more efficient gateway to marine data services.
