Multi-Major-Version Drupal 8 to 11 Core Upgrade and Modernization
Pain Points (Public)
Legacy websites running end-of-life Drupal 8 face security risks and maintenance bottlenecks, but leaping three major versions to Drupal 11 introduces broken Composer dependency trees, deprecated PHP APIs, incompatible contributed modules, and database schema breaking changes that threaten historical user data and site configuration.
Suggested Approach (Public)
Implement a structured upgrade pipeline using Drush and Composer to stage database updates, refactor deprecated hooks and custom themes, replace obsolete contributed extensions with compatible releases, and preserve entity integrity while deploying new landing pages and modern layouts with minimal service interruption.

Opportunity assessment PRO
Development brief PRO
- Position as a high-touch specialized migration consultancy rather than self-service SaaS, addressing the $30 - $250 per-site upgrade offers directly via Drush and Composer automation scripts.
-
- Build an automated CLI pipeline using Composer to resolve PHP dependency conflicts and step through intermediate major versions from Drupal 8 to Drupal 11.
