Why I use it
Composer has made Drupal development far more predictable than it was a decade ago. I rely on it to manage Drupal core, contributed modules, third-party libraries, and deployment workflows. More importantly, it gives teams confidence that every environment is running the same code with the same dependencies.
How I use it
Composer has fundamentally changed how Drupal projects are built and maintained. It manages Drupal core, contributed modules, third-party libraries, and PHP dependencies through a single, reproducible workflow, ensuring that every development environment is working from the same foundation.
I use Composer on every modern Drupal project for everything from installing new modules to planning major Drupal upgrades. It also plays an important role in deployment automation by making project dependencies predictable across local development, testing, and production environments.
For clients, Composer reduces upgrade complexity, improves long-term maintainability, and makes Drupal projects easier to support as they evolve.
