When and How Should I Upgrade?
Begin preparing now! First of all, keep Drupal core and all contributed projects up to date. Then remove uses of deprecated APIs in your custom code, any contributed projects you use, and theme(s). Finally, when Drupal 9 becomes available, update Drupal core. All done!
What About Contributed Modules?
Most all Drupal projects use modules that were created from and supported by the Drupal community. Luckily, many contributed modules have begun preparing and over 50% are already Drupal 9 ready, and that number rises daily.
If you have modules installed that use deprecated APIs, you can share your Upgrade Status report results with the Drupal module maintainer directly from the report to alert them that deprecated API use must be removed, or even submit a patch yourself on Drupal.org to move the process along!
What if I’m on Drupal 7?
The best way to prepare for Drupal 9, is to move your Drupal 7 site to Drupal 8! Waiting for the next version to come out only reduces your time to prepare; so begin now!
Acquia products can help you to plan and support migration incrementally, allowing you to engage with customers and colleagues at your own pace.
