Drupal Migration Services

As a digital agency that works with Drupal every day, Drupal migrations are in our DNA. This was the first service we offered to our customers almost a decade ago. Having helped to build the migration framework in Drupal as an Open Source contribution, our team is ready and highly qualified to help.

Deeply involved in the Drupal community, Axelerant’s developers have migrated hundreds of diverse sites, platforms, and frameworks to Drupal while customizing for customer’s needs, such as: incremental migrations, minimal content freeze, rearchitecting content, and even selective migration of content or the cleaning up of old content.

Establishing Business Need

Like most applications, migrations are a business problem first—and we start there. It begins with empathy.

Select Your Strategy

We pick a migration strategy depending on factors like how robust the source is, the kind of transformations needed, how frequently the content gets created (in case of user-generated content), target architecture, and so on. The robustness of the source depends on how cleanly we can retrieve content and distinguish between metadata like creation dates, revision dates, owners, etc.

Testing & Implementing Migration

Once we have identified the strategy, we use Drupal’s migration framework to implement the migrations—which is powerful and flexible for a variety of combinations of source, destination, and their corresponding mappings or transformations. These migrations are regularly tested before being used for incremental or one-time migration.
