We have a need to roll out around a large amount of pages over the course of a few months (aprox 10,000). We are thinking of launching pages in batches of ~500 at a time, on a weekly staggered timeline.
I am thinking that this is the perfect use-case for Projects in Episerver. Please let me know if you disagree.
The current plan is to (every week)…
- Create a new project
- Create ~500 pages within the project over the next ~3-5 weeks
- Publish the project
We’re thinking of spawning a new project every week to handle this, so really we’ll have 4-5 active projects at a time with batches of content that are being rolled out and published on a staggered timeline. We do not plan on doing any edits to existing pages within the project, only rolling out new pages (although some human error is inevitable).
For example:
- October 5th – Create Project “Batch 1” and begin content population
- October 12th – Create Project “Batch 2” and begin content population
- October 19th – Create Project “Batch 3” and begin content population
- October 26th – Create Project “Batch 4” and begin content population. Publish “Batch 1”
- November 2nd – Create Project “Batch 5” and begin content population. Publish “Batch 2”
- etc
Obviously there’s some dependency on content authoring velocity, but this aside from this…
- Should I anticipate any technical issues with running multiple projects in parallel?
- Can projects handle publishing a high volume of pages within each project?
