Compare Reservoir vs. Bolt CMS

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.

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

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

• Clean architecture built with Silex, very easy to learn
• Standard components for Forms and Database
• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

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

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size
