Upgrading Acquia.com from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8: The Developer Perspective

Thinking of upgrading your website to Drupal 8, or using it for the first time on a new project? Are you a developer and not sure where to start? Let the lessons we learned be your guide.
Our development team recently faced a challenging project: upgrading Acquia.com from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 while simultaneously doing a total redesign.
During this preview into our development process, you’ll learn about:
- Local setups
- Configuration management
- Composer
- Translation
- Paragraphs and site building
- Migration
Join Acquia’s Adrianna Shukla, web operations manager, Nichole Frazier, a front-end developer, and Stephen Dix, a technical architect, as they talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly, and host a Q&A.
