Migrating a drupal 8 site to statamic

[marceloandrader]

Hi friends,

I'm considering migrating a site from drupal to statamic, this site is a medium size digital magazine, it has around 23k articles. wondering if this kind of migration has been done in the past, what considerations should I have. Is it ok to manage this size in a flat file or better to use a db, in that case what will be the difference between keeping it in drupal.

Thanks in advance.

If you're worried about size, you can store your entries in the database.

Plenty of people are storing lots of data in Statamic.

23k files seems like is not too much to me, what is the threshold to use a database?

For the front-end with caching it barely matters, but you might find working with 20k+ entries in a single collection a bit sluggish in the control panel.
