With the imminent release of Drupal 8, a lot of site owners will need to figure out when they should upgrade. This is not an easy question, and there are a ton of variables. That is why we built [d8upgrade.org](http://d8upgrade.org), a free service for the Drupal community that sends out personalised reports with news about the upgrade status of the modules you use in your website.

The really exciting thing is that this data model can be built from the UI, without a single line of code.
