After careful consideration and research. It is recommended we move over to the Laraval / PHP framework. Laraval is a robust framework that allows us to implement the most basic requirements of the “Drupal – RISE – Project” of creating a simple blog/article ability with basic Admin capabilities.

Advantages to use Laravel:

1. Up and coming community
2. -Laracast (well documented support and video learning)
3. -Well received / received in the community
4. -Eloquent ORM (immediate protection against Mysql attacks)
5. -Lumen (micro service / API)
6. -Far greater admin user interface than Drupal
7. -Follows traditional MVC framework
8. -LDAP integration 9 -Implements a simple Model-View-Controller architecture

The beauty of laravel allow to adapt and build features that we don’t know exist, for example connecting the water levels with mussel data should be able to develop without being bound to constraints that Drupal might place on creating new features. Although all constraints of a Drupal or Laravel can be overcome through programming, Laravel is just built in a way, that you can get up and running faster to implement new features.
