Summary

We recently migrated one of our clients from Prismic to Contentful, a headless content management system that's built for fast-growing teams and enterprises. The migration was successful and went smoothly, with the client releasing into three markets and two applications within just one week. To make the transition faster, we identified compatible content types and developed scripts to identify similar slices and create a single content type, eliminating the need for multiple content types. We also eliminated unnecessary content types by thoughtfully merging them and reworked the user interface to ensure it worked seamlessly with the new solution. The key to a successful migration is finding ways to mitigate the impact of changes on the user interface and managing the growth of content effectively.
