AI Migrations with Jamie Abrahams
Details
Migrate anything into Drupal with AI — the whole site, not just the content, starting from WordPress, Figma, or a PDF.
How to migrate anything into Drupal with AI! It's finally here.
Imagine if the cost of migration into Drupal goes to zero? What would that mean? We're not talking just migrating structured data into content types and then having to hand craft a front-end. We're talking everything, the whole design, all the components, all the structured content, all the editing capabilities, all the functionality and modules. Everything!
You might be starting with WordPress, you might have a Figma design, you might have a drawing or even just a pdf. Now everyone can start anywhere and have their site in Drupal and its gotten better than ever! We started focusing on migrating one or two brochure sites into Acquia Source CMS. Now, its gotten serious. Estates of 100s of sites to Source CMS, migrating everything into Drupal CMS hosted anywhere with significantly more complex environments and content types and doing this with open source models!
But this road hasn't been easy and there is so much more to do, everyone has tried it and we've been fighting hard to get all the approaches to come together so we're not always starting from the beginning.
So come along to this talk to see how you to can get involved with migrating everything and anything to Drupal CMS. What we've done it make it easier for all the different approaches to converge and how we use evals to understand what works and what is better!
Homework:
- Go here: https://www.drupal.org/project/canvas_ai_migrations
- Try the local Drupal CMS version with evals on any site with any harness
- (The MCP version is best but its not always working)
