[Migration Research] Find and evaluate solutions for migrating Redirects

[caylahamann]

Summary

In the current docs site, there are over 5,550 redirects from old pages to current docs content. We need to figure out methods for handling these redirects, whether it be through Gatsby, Amplify, or some other technology. Currently, the redirects are listed out in Drupal (the CMS the docs site uses) as referring to other node numbers which represents pages. We need to figure out how to match the redirects from the nodes to the URLs and then configure the redirects.

Procedure

Open up a PR merging into research. If there is no changes in the code (and only research details), you can just make an edit in a text file, since there is no plan to merge this into main. Use the PR template research_PR_template.md either by coping the markdown into the PR or by appending the query string ?template=research_PR_template.md to the URL. Fill out the template by answering the research questions listed below.

Research Goals

• Investigate methods of transferring the redirects
• Determine/estimate the amount of work for the implementation of each method
• Create POC for one of the methods
