Tag1 Consulting Releases Comprehensive Guide for Drupal 7 to 10/11 Migrations

Tag1 Consulting has published a detailed and practical resource to assist developers and site owners with migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 or 11. The guide, originally released as a 31-part blog series by Drupal migration expert Mauricio Dinarte, is now available as a free downloadable e-book.

Data migration is often cited as the most time-consuming and technically demanding aspect of any Drupal upgrade. The newly released e-book offers step-by-step instructions, tools, and guidance designed to reduce rework and streamline the process from start to finish.

The resource begins with a planning section that emphasises careful preparation, including site audits and roadmap development. Beyond planning, the e-book covers:

• Setting up a complete local environment with pre-configured sites

• Using practice data to simulate migration scenarios

• Working with tools that go beyond basic one-to-one content transfers

• Making informed decisions based on past large-scale enterprise migrations

The guide draws on years of experience from Tag1’s migration team—developers who maintain the Migrate API and have led some of the largest Drupal data migrations to date.

In a recent episode of Tag1 Team Talk, Michael Meyers spoke with Mauricio and Lucas Hedding, a Migrate API maintainer, about the development of the migration playbook and how it is used internally at Tag1.

While designed for hands-on practitioners, the material is also relevant for project managers and site owners looking to understand the migration process. The principles discussed extend beyond Drupal 7 and are applicable to other major platform upgrades.

Tag1 notes that although the guide supports do-it-yourself efforts, organisations can also consult with their team for help with planning, architecture, and execution.
