How long would it take and how much would it cost to build Drupal from scratch?

Drupal comes with a lot of features available out of the box.
|
||||
|
||||
It has a flexible system to create complex content models with different content types and fields, rich media management and Views - a visual query builder - to create lists of content.
|
||||
|
||||
It has the JSON:API module to expose your content via an API for use by other systems, such as mobile apps.
|
||||
|
||||
It has user management, authentication, password resets, roles and permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
It has configuration management to easily manage settings and configuration between environments and to provide traceability.
|
||||
|
||||
It has the Layout Builder to create page layouts with a drag and drop interface and a built-in WYSIWYG editor for entering rich content.
|
||||
|
||||
These are just some of the features I could mention.
|
||||
|
||||
Running cloc on Drupal's `core` directory shows 18,289 files and 1,095,970 lines of code.
|
||||
|
||||
If you were to get someone to build a CMS from scratch with the same features, how long would that take?
|
||||
|
||||
How much would it cost?
|
||||
|
||||
This is what you get for free by using free and open source software like Drupal.
