Six Migration Options for Drupal 7 End-of-Life in 2025

Alternative Drupal Migration options

With the end-of-life for Drupal 7 set for 2025, Niels de Feyter, founder of CodeLift, outlines six migration paths for organizations to consider. Options range from staying on Drupal 7 temporarily, which carries high-security risks, to upgrading to Drupal 11 through either a steady-state update or a complete rebuild. Businesses may also choose alternative solutions like converting websites to static versions for enhanced security, migrating to platforms such as WordPress or Shopify for ease of use, or opting for custom frameworks like Laravel for greater flexibility. Each path involves different levels of risk and cost, making it essential for businesses to start planning their migration strategy now to maintain security and functionality.
