How does your toolbox look like? Have you ever wondered how “most” Drupal developers' toolkits looked like? What Drupal development tools does everyone else prefer for setting up their local environments? What applications and what type of environments help them (and are more likely to help you, too) develop their Drupal projects faster and using fewer resources of time and effort? Inspired by the “What Should I Use? 2019 Developer Tool Survey Results” Drupalcon session, I've drawn up a shortlist of the most frequently used tools in Drupal development setups.

Faster project starts, faster development cycle, faster (and reliable) delivery, enhanced scalability and security, higher quality, better collaboration, happier clients... And the list of benefits that you can “reap” from implementing a Drupal 8 DevOps-based workflow is an endless one. And best of all: these benefits are no longer restricted to certain... scenarios. For, let's face it: The old constraints — that you should have an enterprise-sized team (or a dedicated DevOps team) worth the financial effort or a significant project budget — don't stand anymore.
