Pictorial representation of Drupal MIgration from 7 to 9

Edredo, the dynamic social platform connecting over 90,000 students and young professionals with industry experts, embarked on a transformative journey to enhance its career growth and skill-building offerings. Collaborating with OpenSense Labs, Edredo migrated from its original Drupal 7 setup to a sophisticated Drupal 9 decoupled application while adopting a progressive approach to ensure a seamless user experience.

The decision to migrate to Drupal 9 was a natural progression for Edredo, built upon the firm foundation of Drupal's feature-rich ecosystem and vibrant open-source community. With the platform's origins rooted in Drupal 7, upgrading to Drupal 9 offered a comprehensive feature set and a thriving module library, ensuring uninterrupted operation while aligning with its evolving vision.

OpenSense Labs' partnership empowered Edredo to migrate and enhance its features and functionalities. It opted for a forward-thinking approach of embracing a progressive migration method, maintaining the ongoing Drupal 7 development alongside the migration, and avoiding potential roadblocks and inefficiencies.

The migration was about more than just a technical transition. Edredo seized the opportunity to adopt a microservices architecture, an innovative choice that elevated its performance and functionality. It created a more agile, scalable, and personalized learning ecosystem. The combined efforts of migrating to Drupal 9, embracing microservices, and planning for serverless architecture have propelled Edredo toward an empowered and immersive learning landscape.
