What are the possible issues when migrating an existing Umbraco project to UaaS
I really want the benefits of Umbraco as a Service but I can't justify the expense, at least not yet, but would like to make the migration as painless as possible if I decide to migrate in the future.
Can I move my existing site to Umbraco as a Service?
UaaS is best when used as the base for a new project. There is a
specific way of working with Umbraco and UaaS in order to take
full-advantage of the service. That’s not to say you can’t migrate an
existing site, only that some changes may be required in order for
your site to fully take advantage of UaaS.
Questions:
Which issues could I run into?
What can I do now to avoid running into those issues later?
In the future we'll make it tons easier to move an existing site to UaaS. As it stands now it is a manual process that puts a lot of responsibility on the user before they even get to use the UaaS parts. You can imagine why we say it's "best" for new sites. To give you an idea of the process you can review the (unofficial) steps here: https://github.com/umbraco/.comDocumentation/blob/master/Deployment/existingsite.md
