Migrating 10,000 Classic Books to Drupal 8: A Princeton University Press Case Study

Alex Dergachev

We will present a case study of our work of migrating press.princeton.edu to Drupal 8. We have created a migration study and published a report on the subject. thousands of static HTML pages that has accumulated over the years. We will describe the technical and business motives for the project, provide a technical overview of the Drupal migration, and the process challenges in dealing with this volume of content. Finally, we will describe the technical and performance challenges we face when setting up a nightly sync job under the constraints of the Pantheon hosting platform.
