Today I upgraded my production site ravisagar.in to the latest recommended Drupal 9.3.0, the site was running on 8.8.2 which was not too far behind but I wanted to not only upgrade my site to 9 but also want to add more features. The current sparxsys.com website is on version 8.6.3 which is a bit old but instead of upgrading it to Drupal 9 I have now other plans.

Well this site has all the videos, blog posts and twitter syndications. It is an integral part of what I do personally and also at Sparxsys so I have decided to move sparxsys.com website to the same codebase. However instead of running both the sites on multisite configuration I will have the same database and shared content. This can be achieved using domain access module in Drupal which is something I did for a client in the past.

If you want to see how I upgraded my Drupal site from 8.8.2 to 9.3.0 you can check my Drupal upgrade runbook. Enjoy. Also life is good these days. Really enjoying the challenge of running own company. Christmas is almost here, weather is obviously not the best but we are used to it now.

I quite enjoyed upgrading the site, although it took me some time to do it but it was fun. I installed and checked Drupal 9 earlier as well but ravisagar.in I think the first big site I moved to Drupal 9, so feeling proud :)

Stay happy

Running a company is not easy, a lot goes into making a company successful. For me it is not new. I was running a company in India and now I just have to repeat those things here in UK. There are so many thing that I need to do, I can think of the following immediate tasks.

• Updating company website, it needs a bit of revamp and Drupal upgrade. I need to mention all the services that we want to offer.
• Make sure I spent regular time in app development. I already have 2 server apps but those needs an update and we need to work on their cloud equivalent.
• Create regular video courses on YouTube.
• Ensure all the company documentation, templates etc. are up to date with UK operations.
• Need to find an accountancy service here in UK.
• Need to promote Sparxsys services in India.

Finally I wanted to say that please subscribe to my YouTube channel and share it with anyone you think can benefit. I have decided to keep my videos and future course always free and because now I can devote a bit more time in making videos so expect some improvements in my content.
