PHP State of the Stack: A New Benchmarking Report
Many of you may have seen our periodic Ruby on Rails State of the Stack reports. As a SaaS company, we are in the fortunate position of having the ability to collect and analyze vast amounts of data from our 30,000 strong customer base. This includes not only performance metrics, but also data about the technologies and platforms that our customers are using.

Another data point we can see is the frameworks / platforms on which PHP is deployed among our customer base:
And lastly, we thought we’d share the top 50 Drupal modules in use by our customers:

I was wondering the same, maybe it is so that 98% uses drupal, and run some additional extra framework. So that they have multiple.
