15 minDD4T Backwards compatibility with 2013 SP1 and In-process APIs

All

  • As long as republishing is not required, the backwards compatibility with 2013 is not a concern
  • Upgrade path would be as follows:
    • Upgrade to Web 8.x (9?)
    • Replace DD4T providers with the latest DD4T/DXA 2.0 versions
    • Keep rest of application as is - everything else will just work thanks to data compatibility
  • New features made available due to new data model in DXA 2 would only be available after the content is republished.


10 minutesLevel of comfort for DXA 2.0OnnoHow comfortable are we with the changes that DXA 2.0 brings to DD4T. Some concerns were expressed - all depends on execution - but we believe the direction is the right one.
5 minutesValidate DXA 2.0 in MVP RetreatOnnoPossibly use the MVP retreat in early October as a venue to discuss DXA 2.0 development and progress. Possibly include Alexei Zarakovskiy in the discussions, may be able to fly him into the retreat too.
