• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted to disable hooks to accelerate your Drupal migration? There’s a module for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • Migrate Boost
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Sep 2023 by our own Nic Laflin
  • Versions available: 1.0.1, compatible with Drupal 10 and 11
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Security coverage
  • Documentation README / project page have instructions
  • Number of open issues: none!
• Usage stats:
  • 119 sites
• Module features and usage
  • Having hooks fire during a migration can significantly slow down the process, and what’s worse, it can also cause some significant problems, for example sending email notifications every time a node is created
  • You disable hooks by defining an array in your settings.php file, either an array of specific hooks you want to disable, or an array of modules for which you want to disable all hooks
  • This was a capability available for the Drupal 7 Migrate module, but hasn’t been available in the Migrate API in Drupal core since version 8, so this module can be invaluable if you’re working on a sizable migration
  • Hopefully there are a lot of folks working on migrations ahead of the January 5 EOL for Drupal 7, so I thought this module would be timely
