Facing a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11 migration and not sure where to start? You’re not alone. Data migrations are often the most time-consuming and costly part of any platform upgrade. And let’s be honest: the goal is to do it right the first time, without a ton of rework.
Good news? You don’t have to start from scratch. Others with years of migration experience have created tools and figured out best practices that you can leverage.
Even better news? We’re excited to announce that Tag1’s comprehensive 31-part migration blog series, written by Mauricio Dinarte, is now available as a free downloadable e-book. tag1.com/migrate-book
The e-book kicks off with the critical planning phase — arguably the most important step of any project. From a thorough source site audit to laying out a clear project roadmap, you’ll be set up for a smoother migration. As Mauricio puts it: “There is a saying that goes: measure twice, code once. That’s what the planning section helps you do.”
From there, the guide walks you through everything you need for a successful migration:
- A complete local environment with pre-configured sites
- Practice data to work with
- Step-by-step instructions
- Tools and guidance to go beyond a basic "one-to-one copy" of your legacy site
In this episode of Tag1 Team Talk, Michael Meyers chats with migration experts Mauricio Dinarte, author of the migration series, and Lucas Hedding, a Migrate API maintainer, the story behind this resource, how the Tag1 team uses this playbook everyday, and the ways it can support your own migration projects.
Whether you’re a developer or site owner, don’t miss this conversation. This comprehensive series, now available as an e-book, can help you confidently plan and execute your next Drupal migration.
