content migrations at Condé Nast

Flyway is a system for migrating content from an existing CMS into Condé Nast's CMS. Content can be defined as articles, authors, categories, galleries, videos and images.

We implemented a "self-service" model to allow engineers to migrate content into our CMS without any intervention from the core team.

This system was used to migrate Vogue and GQ websites managed by 10 different market teams onto our web platform managed in London.
