Compare Grav vs. Reservoir

Grav is a fresh flat-file database which is easy to install. It uses a number of Symfony components and is very fast to get started with.

Reservoir is a Drupal 8 distribution focused on decoupled content management. It is developed by Acquia, the company providing enterprise grade Drupal hosting and solutions.

• Fast to install and get started with
• Extensible via Plugins, Skeletons and Themes
• A fresh codebase, no PHP4 cruft here

• Open Source CaaS option
• Corporate backing from Acquia
• Flexibility and extensibility

• Limited use cases due to flat-file approach
• Limited developer base
• Needs more work to round the edges in real-world use

• A young, unproven product
• Complexity of hosting (compared to pure CaaS)
• Unable to leverage full Drupal ecosystem
