Strapi Migration in Oxford

Strapi migrations for Oxford organisations, most of which are version upgrades rather than platform moves. Major releases have restructured the content model, the plugin interface and the API response shape — so an upgrade touches the CMS, its customisations and every application consuming it, which is a wider blast radius than the word suggests.

Why this comes up

The problem

The upgrade changed the API response shape, and three applications consuming the CMS all broke simultaneously.

What you get

What we deliver

  • The full consumer list established, since every one is affected by response changes
  • Custom plugins and extensions assessed against the target version's interfaces
  • Content migrated with relations and media preserved rather than flattened
  • Consuming applications updated in step, with a period where both are supported
  • Upgrade rehearsed against a copy of production content
  • A version policy agreed, so the next upgrade is planned rather than forced

Working in Oxford

Oxford's economy runs on research and life sciences, and a lot of the work here starts with a research group or spin-out that needs a prototype turned into something other people can safely use.

Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand.

Strapi Migration in Oxford — common questions

Why does an upgrade affect our applications?
Because the API response shape has changed between major versions. Anything consuming the CMS is reading a structure that differs afterwards, so the upgrade is not contained to the CMS — every consumer needs updating and ideally deploying in coordination.
What happens to custom plugins?
They need reviewing against the new extension interfaces. Customisations written for one major version rarely carry forward unchanged, and this is where upgrade estimates are most frequently wrong — the content migrates more predictably than the code around it.
Can both versions run during transition?
Running the old CMS while consumers are updated one at a time is the safer path where the architecture allows. It costs a period of duplication and removes the requirement to switch everything simultaneously, which is where these upgrades go wrong.
How do we avoid this recurring?
By deciding a version policy rather than upgrading reactively. Knowing when support ends for your version, and planning the move before it does, turns a forced upgrade under pressure into scheduled work with time to update consumers properly.
Do you work with businesses across Oxfordshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Oxford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Oxford businesses do you usually work with?
Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand. Beyond that we work across Research & Higher Education, Life Sciences, Publishing, Technology and Tourism.
Do you cover the areas around Oxford?
Yes — we work throughout South East, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, London. Oxford is an urban area of roughly 170,000+, and we take on work across the wider Oxfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
