Adaptive migrated the site to Pantheon, offering:
- Structured discovery, audit, and test plans
- Automated deployment workflows across environments
- Infrastructure-level enhancements via CDN, WAF, and performance tuning
- Ongoing managed services, security monitoring, and support
Results
- Zero major downtime incidents post-migration
- Zero failed deployments
- 30%+ cost savings
- 100%+ reduction in detected vulnerabilities
- 100%+ improvement in page load performance
Why Drupal was chosen
Lymphoma Action had already invested in Drupal for its flexibility, strong security model, and content management capabilities. Drupal’s open-source community, combined with enterprise-level hosting options like Pantheon, offered the right balance of scalability, performance, and cost-effectiveness for a charity seeking maximum impact with limited resources.
