Drupal 7 to Modern Drupal: Migration Barriers, Support Options, and the Role of AI
A blog post from Dropsolid published on Drupal.org outlines the key technical and organizational challenges delaying Drupal 7 migrations. These include redesigning themes, reworking content structures, and rewriting custom modules, alongside staffing and budget constraints. The piece positions Dropsolid’s Extended Support (D7ES) as a short-term solution offering patching, infrastructure support, and breathing room to plan migrations strategically.
While informative, the article reads more like a promotional pitch than a critical analysis. It offers few concrete examples or client case studies. The “Drupal AI” section hints at future-facing capabilities like AI-assisted content and smart recommendations, but lacks depth or practical demonstrations. Overall, the content is moderately useful for organizations exploring migration but doesn’t offer new insights or comparative evaluations of support options. It’s most relevant for current Drupal 7 site owners seeking a commercial support bridge before full migration.
