Downtime Target
Blue-green deployment strategies maintain full store availability throughout Magento version upgrades. Our systematic approach includes staging environment setup, full compatibility testing covering extensions, custom code, and database migrations, and coordinated cutover during low-traffic windows. Most upgrades complete within 48 hours with zero customer-facing downtime, protecting revenue whilst delivering platform improvements and security updates.

Compatibility Testing
Why Upgrades Matter
Complete Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration with data preservation
Incremental version upgrades (2.3.x → 2.4.x) with minimal disruption
Extension compatibility testing and custom module refactoring
Database migration with integrity verification
Performance testing and optimisation post-upgrade
Staging environment replication and UAT coordination
Rollback procedures and contingency planning
Third-party integration verification and API compatibility testing
Magento 1 to 2 represents a complete platform rewrite requiring careful data migration. Only 26% of merchants upgraded by 2022, often due to concerns about data integrity. We handle schema mapping, preserve all order history, customer data, and product catalogues, whilst ensuring zero data loss. Our process includes validation checksums and automated verification at every stage.

Our Upgrade Process
A methodical, risk-averse approach that ensures business continuity.
Audit & Staging Setup
We analyse your current installation - custom code, third-party extensions, integrations, and database schema - then replicate your production environment for isolated testing. This complete audit identifies compatibility issues, estimates effort required, and ensures all testing happens in staging with real data before touching production.
Compatibility Resolution
We refactor custom modules for the new version, update incompatible extensions, and resolve breaking changes. Every dependency is tested and validated.
Zero-Downtime Deployment
Production upgrades use blue-green deployment strategies with automated rollback. You stay live throughout the process, with a planned cutover during low-traffic windows.

Upgrade Benefits
The competitive advantage of staying current.
Security Compliance
PCI Safe
Access to the latest security patches and PCI DSS compliance. Older versions lose support, leaving you vulnerable to exploits.
Performance Gains
2-3x
Modern Magento versions include significant performance improvements: faster indexing, better caching, optimised database queries.
New Features
100+
Unlock new capabilities: PWA Studio, GraphQL APIs, MSI (Multi-Source Inventory), B2B features, and improved admin UX.
Future-Proof
Ready
Stay compatible with modern PHP versions, payment gateways, and third-party integrations. Avoid technical debt accumulation.

Common Upgrade Challenges
We've solved these problems dozens of times. You don't have to.
Custom Code Compatibility
Covered
Custom modules and theme overrides often break between versions due to core API changes, deprecated methods, and architectural shifts. We audit all custom code, refactor for compatibility, and implement automated testing to catch regressions.
Extension Dependencies
Solved
Third-party extensions may not support newer Magento versions, or require upgrades that introduce breaking changes to your customisations. We evaluate compatibility, negotiate vendor upgrades, or develop replacements.
Data Migration Integrity
Verified
Database schema changes between versions can corrupt data if migrations aren't executed correctly. Missing products, broken orders, lost customers are unacceptable. We validate all data, back up pre-migration, and verify integrity.
Downtime Risk
Prevented
Traditional upgrades require maintenance windows that lose sales. Every minute offline costs revenue, especially during peak seasons. Blue-green deployment keeps your store live throughout, with instant rollback.

We delayed our Magento upgrade for 18 months because we were terrified of breaking our customisations. Edmonds Commerce handled it flawlessly: zero downtime, zero data loss, and our custom modules worked perfectly on day one.
