I have a site with about 100K users and 500 different contents (articles, lists, blog posts). I have been building and customizing on a Wordpress platform with a VPS, but now the technology is getting more complicated. I also need different types of technology (data and d3.js) integrated into the content. Also need to integrate an ad server with native display advertising. Outgrowing my legacy Wordpress. What may be the better way to architect this platform?
Maybe the prudent approach is to create a parallel system which includes all the newer technologies. Instead of an all or nothing transition, transfer one (or a few) functions at a time. If something goes wrong, you have a failback. If things work well, you can speed up the transition until everything is moved over.
