Plone migrations using plone.restapi
This document discusses migrating 10 Plone sites from Plone 4.1/4.3 to Plone 5.1 using plone.restapi. The goals were a consistent look and feel, common code base with fewer dependencies, and consistent deployment. A custom provisioning API was built to handle site creation, content migration, and other tasks. The migration process extracted content from source sites and recreated it in the target Plone 5 sites using plone.api calls over HTTP. Most structures and content migrated automatically, with some manual work needed for default pages, collections, and other content. Lessons learned were that the approach was stable, reasonably fast, and could be adopted for other migrations.
