1 year ago USAGov Team's redirect solution:
They have two systems:
-
The "redirect" Drupal module. This enables our content team to add a redirect from one path to another within Drupal (and creates a redirect automatically when they change the path alias of a page). The Tome module automatically picks these up and creates an HTML file for each redirect, with a meta refresh tag for the redirect.
-
Rewrite rules in our nginx configuration. These cover a batch of redirects that were already in place on the "old" usa.gov.
Here's a link to the relevant configuration:
The user experience is a little better with the nginx setup, but the Drupal redirect module puts the power in the content teams' hands (and there's no need to redeploy for those). On the other hand, the web server redirects can handle patterns.

Investigate how the USAGOV team are managing redirects, if at all with the TOME build.
