10 BEST PRACTICES WHEN UPGRADING MAGENTO 2 (ADOBE COMMERCE)

 * Dedicated eCommerce Team
 * Adobe Magento Build

Upgrading Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) can be a complex process, but it is crucial
for keeping your eCommerce store running smoothly and up to date with the latest
features and security patches. To ensure a successful upgrade, it’s essential to
follow best practices that will minimize the risk of downtime, data loss, and
other issues.

Here are 10 best practices for upgrading Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce):


1. PLAN AHEAD

Planning ahead is crucial to ensure a successful upgrade. Set aside enough time
to complete the upgrade process and ensure that you have all the necessary
resources before starting. This will help minimize the risk of downtime and data
loss and ensure that the upgrade process goes smoothly. The time it takes to
upgrade Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) will vary depending on the size of your store
and the complexity of your customizations, so be sure to plan accordingly.


2. BACK UP

Back up your store data and files—including the database, media, and code—before
starting the upgrade process. It is paramount to have a fallback plan in case
something goes wrong during the upgrade and you need to restore your site to its
previous state. Using a backup service that automatically creates backups of
your site at regular intervals would be a good move.


3. CHECK COMPATIBILITY

Before upgrading Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce), ensure that all third-party
extensions, themes, and custom code are compatible with the latest version.
Outdated extensions can cause compatibility issues and prevent your site from
functioning correctly after the upgrade. Ensure that the upgrade process does
not cause data loss, corruption, broken links, or missing features. Also, check
that all pages and forms are working correctly.

4. REVIEW CHANGE LOG

Review the Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) change log to see what changes and updates
have been made in the latest version, including changes in the code, database,
and file structure. It’s always good to know what to expect from the upgrade so
you can plan for any changes that may impact your site. 


5. UPDATE EXTENSIONS

Update any extensions or plugins before upgrading Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce).
Outdated or incompatible extensions can cause issues and prevent your eCommerce
store from working correctly after the upgrade. That is enough reason to update
extensions and plugins when upgrading Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce). But
additionally, many extensions are updated to take advantage of new features and
functionality in the latest version of Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce). They also
receive security updates to address vulnerabilities that attackers could
exploit. By updating your extensions, you can take advantage of the new features
of Magento 2, ensure that your site continues to run optimally, and keep it
secure. 


6. PERFORM CODE REVIEW

A code review involves reviewing all custom code, including any custom modules,
plugins, and theme modifications. Conduct a code review to identify any custom
code that may need to be updated. Custom code that was written for an older
version of Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) may not be compatible with the latest
version.

Conducting a code review is an important best practice that can help minimize
the risk of compatibility issues, ensure that your custom code is optimized for
the latest version of Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce), and protect your site from
attackers that could exploit security vulnerabilities in your custom code. 





7. CLEAN UP DATA

Over time, your Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) installation may accumulate large
amounts of redundant, outdated, or irrelevant data that can slow down your site
and impact its performance. Clean up any redundant or unused data to reduce the
amount of data to transfer during the upgrade process. Remove any products that
are no longer in stock, old customer data, and any other data that you don’t
need anymore. This will speed up the upgrade process and help minimize the risk
of data loss or corruption.

Cleaning up data can also help improve your site’s security by reducing the risk
of data breaches and other security threats. By removing unnecessary data and
keeping only the data that is important to your business, you can reduce the
attack surface of your site and protect your sensitive data and customer
information.


8. TEST THE UPGRADE

Do a test run of the upgrade process in a staging environment before
implementing it on your live site. Doing so will allow you to see how the
upgrade will impact your eCommerce site, identify any potential issues, and make
any necessary adjustments. Verify that the upgrade process is done correctly and
that all features and functionality are working as expected. By testing the
upgrade in a staging environment, you can identify and resolve any potential
issues before they become a problem on your live site. It will also help
minimize the risk of downtime and data loss. 


9. MONITOR THE UPGRADE

Monitor the upgrade process closely to ensure that everything is running
smoothly. Keep an eye on the progress of the upgrade and look for any issues or
errors that may occur. Review the logs and check for any error messages that
come up. Check that all functionality is working correctly and monitor your
site’s performance. If you encounter any issues, it’s essential to address them
immediately to minimize the risk of downtime or data loss and ensure that the
upgrade process is completed successfully.

10. TEST THOROUGHLY

After the upgrade process is complete, thoroughly test the site to ensure all
functions and features are working correctly. Verify that your frontend,
backend, custom code, and extensions are functioning correctly. Check that
product pages, customer accounts, and the checkout process are all running as
they should. 

By thoroughly testing your site after the upgrade, you can identify and address
any issues that may have arisen during the upgrade process. This can help
prevent any unexpected downtime or data loss and ensure that your site performs
optimally after the upgrade.


WRAPPING UP

By following these best practices, you can ensure a smooth and successful
upgrade of Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce). Failing to follow these best practices
can result in compatibility issues, data loss, and other problems that can
impact the functionality and performance of your site. So, be sure to plan
ahead, backup your site, test the upgrade, and follow these best practices to
ensure a seamless upgrade process.
