Preparing you and your site for Drupal 9
Kristen Pol
Drupal 9 is here! Drupal 9 is a large departure from previous major releases. The only changes between Drupal 9 and the last release of Drupal 8 is it has deprecated code removed and 3rd party dependencies updated. This makes it the easiest upgrade in a decade.
Whether you are on Drupal 8, Drupal 7, or even Drupal 6, let's discuss the happy path to get you to Drupal 9. Obviously, if you are on Drupal 8.8.0, you will have an easier time than if you are on Drupal 7.68 or 6.38, but we'll go over different ways of getting to your goal.
