What is Grid?

We are thrilled to introduce the open-source debut of Grid, the Guardian's cutting-edge image management system. This account outlines our joint efforts in crafting Grid, emphasizing the valuable partnerships formed with our editorial teams and the utilization of a modern technology stack. The initiative has been fully Open Source, fostering increased community involvement. Throughout the last year, a passionate team has been diligently working to develop this image management solution, applying an effective Agile methodology that prioritizes user feedback to ensure the end product aligns with their needs and expectations. As a result, we now have a service that is fully integrated into our print workflow, managing nearly half of all images featured in our online publications. The advancement of our Editorial Tools teams in building a full suite of editorial solutions—including content creation, workflow management, and the editing of front and section pages—highlighted the pressing need for a reliable media repository, critical for our operations. The collaborative effort behind this project has not only improved our capabilities but has also reinforced our dedication to the principles of open-source development, paving the way for future innovations. Furthermore, this initiative exemplifies how teamwork and transparency can lead to significant advancements in technology for media management.
