Crescere Digital is a full-service digital marketing agency, and I work as a PHP developer. My role involves working on multiple Drupal websites, providing day-to-day maintenance support for the websites. Simultaneously, I am engaged in migrating websites to the latest version of Drupal 10.
The primary challenges faced in this project revolved around the inherent complexities of managing diverse codebases for each website. Customizations unique to each site posed a significant obstacle, making it challenging to streamline the migration process. Additionally, the task of transitioning from various Drupal versions to the latest iteration added an extra layer of complexity.
We adopted a meticulous and strategic approach to overcome these challenges.

The outcomes of our collaborative efforts with Crescere Digital were noteworthy. The project not only addressed the immediate challenges but also provided valuable learning experiences.
