<p>Did you know you can have more than one version of your website in production at the same time?</p>
<p>If you're migrating to a new platform or upgrading to a new major version, such as Drupal 7 to Drupal 11, you don't need to do it all at once.</p>
<p>You can do it incrementally, and seamlessly for end users.</p>
<p>The MVP for your new website can be a particular section or a single page that is developed and launched to production alongside the current website.</p>
<p>Depending on the path someone goes to, they'll either see the new website or the old one.</p>
<p>Focusing on delivering a single page or section of a website is much faster compared to rebuilding the entire thing, it's a lot less risky as the feedback loop is much shorter and you get feedback from real users.</p>
<p>Once you have the new MVP deployed to a hosting environment, you can configure a proxy to assign traffic between it and the existing hosting based on path, request headers, or a combination of different options.</p>
<p>This is an approach I've taken with my website as I've upgraded between different versions of Drupal and also static site generators such as Jekyll, Astro and Sculpin.</p>
<p>Instead of waiting for months to deliver a new website to production, do it in days or weeks.</p>
