Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

In this episode of Tag1 Team Talks, our team of Drupal experts - including Mike Ryan (co-creator of Migrate) and Benji Fisher (maintainer of Migrate), and host Janez Urevc, delve into the essential "Load" phase of the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process in Drupal migrations. They discuss the core mechanics of loading data into Drupal while emphasizing the pluggable nature of Drupal's migration system. The discussion also touches on performance optimization by handling one entity at a time during migration. We also highlight upcoming migration talks to ease the community's transition from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10. Dive in to explore the intricacies and the flexibility of the Load phase of ETL in managing large-scale data migrations for Drupal!
