Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026, and on that date the security fixes stop. Moving to Drupal 11 is a real project — contributed-module compatibility, a PHP version, APIs that have been removed — so the work gets funded whichever direction you choose. We re-platform the front end to a static Astro build on Cloudflare: the same content, the same URLs, served from the edge. Editors can keep Drupal and author exactly as they do now, or the platform can be retired altogether.

## What it does

Re-platforms a Drupal site to a static Astro front end on Cloudflare — either headless, with Drupal kept as the editing system and read through its JSON:API module, or fully extracted so the platform is retired. Content, structure, URLs and redirects are carried across.

## Where it creates value

It creates a publishing path with no server in it: every page is built once and served from the edge. It enhances what the business already owns — the content model, the URLs and the search positions come across intact. And it protects the site on the day Drupal 10 support ends, because a static build has no PHP process, no database and no contributed modules facing the internet.

## Why it cannot be ignored

Nothing breaks on 9 December 2026, and that is the difficulty — the site keeps serving, so nobody raises it. What stops is the supply of security fixes: from that date Drupal issues no further security advisories or patches for Drupal 10. Every flaw found after that is published in the open, and on your site it stays open. The consequences then arrive from outside engineering — a penetration test that records unsupported software as a finding, a procurement questionnaire that asks which version you run, an insurer at renewal asking whether your software is still supported and patched. Waiting defers none of it, and there is no version of this where the project goes unfunded: Drupal 10 to Drupal 11 is contributed-module compatibility, a PHP version and removed APIs — the same discovery work as moving the front end to Astro. The only real choice is what you own at the end of it: another supported version with the next end-of-life date already in the diary, or a front end with nothing left to patch.

## What you get

- **Editors can keep Drupal** — Drupal's JSON:API module exposes nodes, fields, taxonomy and menus. Astro reads that and builds the pages, so the authoring experience your team already knows is untouched.
- **Faithful re-platform** — Content, structure, URLs and redirects carried across, so rankings and inbound links survive the cutover.
- **Nothing left to patch** — Edge-served on Cloudflare — no PHP process, no per-request database, and no module update sitting in the request path.
- **We name what is rebuilt** — Views, Webform, Panels, Layout Builder and anything a contributed module renders at request time are rebuilt, not converted. You get that list before you commit, not after.
