Help to decide the direction of Config Split

Config Split has worked mostly the same way as it did when the first beta release was tagged in 2016. The 8.x-1.x branch is using Config Filter as the API to hook into the configuration management of Drupal. But since Drupal 8.8 we have a much better API in Drupal core which allows us to do more complex things with simpler code than the Config Filter API did. The core API was designed with the lessons learned from Config Filter in mind after all.

Supercharge Drupal 8 migration process by externalizing data export and transformation.

When having to import data onto a Drupal 8 site there is no other choice than relying on core’s Migrate API and its contrib ecosystem. At Nuvole we have adopted a so called "middle-format approach". The process simply moves the Extract and Transform parts outside Drupal so to ease the production of an easy to import dataset, in a well known middle-format (such as JSON API).

A new workflow for distribution configuration management.
