Innovation & The future

Drupal is an amazing tool to model and manage data. From eCommerce platform; to a food magazine website; to a social network; Drupal can do it all. In the past years we've made great strides in improving the developer experience and make it easier to improve Drupal by utilizing work done by others in our ecosystem. At the same rate, competition for Drupal is growing by moving user experiences outside of the browser and building SaaS and serverless alternatives for data management for those projects.

Where can we go with Drupal to keep it relevant for these new user experiences and share its strengths with others?
