Behind-the-scenes updates from the set
Engineer's Log — Unification Series
Two years of Drupal decoupled migration, told in eight parts
Why Axanar Needed One Domain
Three platforms, three logins, and fifteen thousand donor relationships scattered across Kickstarter, WordPress, and pilot portals — the case for unification.
The Decoupled Blueprint
Drupal holds truth; Next.js holds speed — how we split responsibilities between the operations brain and the public face.
The Donor Resurrection
Lovable + Supabase shipped axanardonors.com in November 2025 when fans needed a portal — fast, fragile, and intentionally temporary.
The Pilot Tax
Three platforms, three logins, and a year of ops-heavy work that rarely showed up as git commits.
One Host in Iceland
Next.js, Drupal, Postgres, Redis, and Caddy on one 1984.hosting VPS — the production topology that replaces four vendors.
Drupal as the Operations Brain
Donors, pledges, commerce, fulfillment, and messages — why Drupal stays authoritative behind the decoupled curtain.
Next.js as the Public Face
ISR, burned-in shop catalog, legacy redirects, and the donor portal — what visitors actually touch.
Sundown, Cutover, and the VPS
Leave WordPress, leave Fly, keep one Iceland VPS — the runbook for one domain.
