Planning Enterprises Path for Your Drupal 9 Journey
summary
Drupal 9 is essentially Drupal 8 minus deprecated code with updated third‑party libraries (Symfony, Twig) and its branch exists now with a target release around June 2020; Drupal 7 reaches end‑of‑life soon (possible extended support to 2024). Migration strategy: keep Drupal 8 sites on the latest minor, remove deprecations, and use tooling such as Drupal Check and Drupal Rector plus Composer and the Composer scaffolding to manage dependencies. Practical builders: use core Migrate, JSON endpoints via JSON:API, Layout Builder, Media and Workspace to migrate content and preserve workflows.
