In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest shifts in the Drupal ecosystem: Drupal Canvas. For years, building in Drupal meant pushing a massive boulder of custom code uphill. But with the release of Canvas, we are seeing a massive explosion in adoption—peaking at 780 sites in a single week.

We go behind the curtain to discuss how "Digital Legos" are replacing the blinking cursor. We explore the rise of Drupal Canvas AI, the integration of Drupal CMS Recipes, and why the "Visual-First" approach is empowering marketing teams without side-lining developers.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The Adoption Explosion: Why nearly 800 sites moved to Canvas 1.0.0 in record time.
• Crushing the "Blank Page" Problem: How AI-assisted design (Canvas AI) actually works in a production environment.
• The Architecture of Speed: Why Canvas + Next.js is the "Best of Both Worlds" for headless enthusiasts.
• Team Empowerment: How to create a common ground for developers, agencies, and content editors.
