Since we first announced our plans for Strapi 5, thousands of people have joined the waitlist and shared their interest in trying it out. We’re very grateful for your support and encouragement.
we are also on 3 and looking to go to 4. Will the transition from 4 to 5 be easier than 3-4? Or should we wait til 5 since say you this quarter u will release?
@David_Kaleky Yes, the transition from 4 to 5 will be easier. That said, depending on your app’s complexity on v3, it may make sense to start Strapi 5 as a new project and move the code logic manually rather than going from v3 to v4 and then to v5.
Both approaches are valid, but depending on your app’s complexity, one may be easier than the other.
If you have follow up questions feel free to ask here, we also have Strapi open office hours on Discord Strapi Community Mon - Fri 12:30 pm CST.
With one exception, we will be on a company retreat from May 10th -17th so no open office hours during that week.
We were considering going from v3 to v5. We’ve tried the v5 betas 4, 5 and 6 and finding fundamental bugs blocking us from creating the content. So now we’re looking at version 4 which is much more stable. We are using the same Postgres DB used in Strapi v3 when we did our review of Strapi v5 and v4.
