Brainsum Highlights Smooth Process for Upgrading Drupal 7 Sites to Drupal 10

Brainsum, a leading web development company, recently shared a blog post titled "Our approach on upgrading Drupal 7 sites to Drupal 10." As the widely-used Drupal 7 CMS approaches its End of Life on November 1, 2023, concerns about security vulnerabilities arise due to the absence of future security updates. Moreover, the aging technology stack supporting Drupal 7 sites poses increasing risks and challenges, considering that Drupal 7 was first released in 2011.

In their blog post, Brainsum outlines their systematic process for upgrading Drupal 7 sites to the latest version, Drupal 10. The migration process is divided into two distinct phases to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Phase 1 focuses on the Audit, which involves assessing the effort and cost involved in the migration while providing tangible results that stakeholders can interact with. This phase offers a clear understanding of the requirements and scope of the upgrade project.

Phase 2 encompasses the actual Drupal 10 upgrade based on the decisions made by the client. Brainsum emphasizes that Drupal 10 is an exceptional open-source CMS, particularly suitable for enterprise-level projects. It offers robust security features and is highly adaptable to complex and customized websites, web applications, and decoupled solutions. Drupal's unmatched multilingual capabilities further enhance its appeal as a digital experience platform (DXP) and make it a top choice among developers.

Highlighting Drupal 10's modern features, such as the CKeditor 5 WYSIWYG editor and its foundation built on the latest Symfony 6 components with four years of security support, Brainsum positions Drupal 10 as a potential long-term support (LTS) version. Although Drupal 10 may not match the impressive lifespan of Drupal 7, the migration process has significantly improved since the introduction of Drupal 8, ensuring easier upgrades and lower maintenance costs.

Brainsum highly recommends Drupal 10 for long-term projects. The platform offers an array of features and customization options that do not require complete rewrites in the near future, allowing for reasonable and predictable maintenance. By upgrading to Drupal 10, website owners can enjoy enhanced security, improved performance, and a future-proof solution for their digital presence.

As the deadline for Drupal 7's End of Life approaches, Brainsum's expertise and systematic approach provide Drupal 7 users with a reliable path to migrate to Drupal 10, ensuring the continuity and security of their online assets.
