CodeLift delivered a high-scale migration for VanePump, a certified Parker Hannifin distributor managing 250,000+ products. The project involved upgrading from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 with zero downtime while maintaining SEO rankings and sub-200ms load times. Apache Solr was rebuilt for advanced B2B search, supported by enterprise-grade hosting with Memcache, Cloudflare, and tailored optimizations for heavy AI spider traffic.

The migration leveraged Drupal core's Migration API with a reduced developer database for efficiency, supported by rollback options and automated SEO testing. Comprehensive QA, including screenshot comparisons and search validation, ensured data integrity across all products. With just two developers over five months, the platform was rebuilt with 100% data accuracy and sustained enterprise-level performance.

CodeLift is a Drupal Association Certified Migration Partner specializing in repeatable, AI-assisted upgrade workflows.
