The session

The Migrate contrib project is great, many have used it before and it has brought some huge sites over to the Drupal side :)

There was a lot of talk about replacing the upgrade path with it during the years but the project only kicked off at DrupalCon Prague at 2013 September. Since then a team has formed, migrate has been rewritten with the new Drupal 8 APIs. It's more extensible than ever and yet it kept all the battle tested edge case handling.

This talk will introduce the audience to this initiative and show you how to write a migration in Drupal 8.

The speaker

Christian López (penyaskito) is an active member of the Drupal community and works for Cocomore AG, a Drupal agency based in Frankfurt and Sevilla. Among other contributions, he is part of the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative team and the Migrate in Core Initiative team.
