How to Migrate from SSR to SSG

A well-planned migration typically takes two to four weeks for small teams, including parallel running, testing, and team adjustment. Larger teams or complex setups may require longer. Rush migrations create problems — allocate adequate time for a smooth transition.

With proper planning, no. Both tools support data export, and standard data formats ensure compatibility. Always back up your data before starting migration and verify data integrity after each migration step. Test with non-critical data first.

Yes, and this is recommended during migration. Running both tools in parallel lets you validate the SSG setup against your existing SSR workflow before committing to the switch. Maintain SSR as a fallback until SSG is proven stable.

The biggest risks are incomplete feature mapping (discovering a missing feature after switching), team productivity loss during the learning curve, integration breakages, and rushed timelines. Mitigate these through thorough planning, parallel running, and phased rollout.

Yes, though it requires effort. Maintain your SSR setup during the initial period after migration so reverting is straightforward. Once you are fully committed to SSG, reversing becomes more costly. This is why the parallel running phase is important.
