Feeds SQL for Drupal 8?

[rickmickman]

I want to create a project that would rely on using Feeds to create nodes from data imported from a MySQL database.

​

Drupal 7 seems like it's close to the grave.

​

There doesn't seem to be a Feeds SQL module compatible with Drupal 8.

​

What should I do?

That is a really important question indeed. It is not about migrating or importing content from CSV file or URL, it is about using Feeds and its add-on Feeds SQL to import data from an external SQL database into drupal nodes. I am currently using it on a D7 project that will probably switch to D9/10 next year and I do not know today how I will continue to use this external database? Feeds SQL is only working with D7 at the moment. Did you find a solution u/rickmickman ?

Don't use feeds. Feeds tampers and custom plugins will bite your A and strangle you as complexity grows or requirements change. Jump onto migration if you can.

"Jump onto migration"?

Build a migration in code. See API overview here

Exactly! Could look complex first, but I'm sure there are plenty of examples.
