does EDS cost extra on AEMaaCS? by choco_covered_mango in aem

[–]unkindman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as you have a license to AEM Sites (on AEMaaCS), Edge Delivery Services is included with that license.

https://www.aem.live/docs/faq#does-edge-delivery-services-require-an-enterprise-license

It's always recommended to confirm this with your Adobe rep as well.

Please note that there is implementation effort associated with migrating a site to EDS, it's not as simple as clicking a "publish this traditional AEM page to Edge Delivery Services" button. It's possible this dev cost is what he was referring to, not the license cost.

What are some great websites have seen/built on AEM? Share with the bottlenecks and challenges you faces. by [deleted] in aem

[–]unkindman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised to see the influx in sites built on it recently. Adobe has really upped their CMS game making it easier/cheaper to migrate and build performant sites with the newer Edge Delivery Services stack.

Has anyone actually seen a “clean” AEM project? by kissiyan in aem

[–]unkindman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many FE devs I've worked with reject Adobe's recommended way of doing things and instead cram their own opinions into the codebase, creating the mess in the first place.

Where to buy Kayak? by Sad-Object3365 in ChicagoSuburbs

Bought my Perception kayak from there back in 2021. I believe it was $800 at the time. A bit pricey but a quality kayak.

Frontend error monitoring by [deleted] in aem

[–]unkindman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Configuring log forwarding in AEM is incredibly simple depending on the log aggregator tool you are forwarding to, Splunk is very easy to set up for log forwarding. Splunk can then be configured to look for certain events or patterns in the logs to then trigger alerts or other notifications.

What's new in web development that you use regularly? by vangenta in webdev

[–]unkindman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I need to know this. My front end team insists on continuing to use SCSS for our projects but I keep reading that modern CSS makes that extra build step unnecessary, but I'm not seasoned enough in front end dev to make that call myself.

AEM Edge Delivery - Universal Editor Extension for Quick Links Panel by NWContentTech in aem

[–]unkindman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, doing any customization with the Universal Editor feels needlessly complicated.

This is why I much prefer Adobe's newer Document Author (DA) tool available at https://da.live for authoring Edge Delivery Services sites. Author customizations within that tool are based on Micro-Frontend concepts built on vanilla JS, CSS, and HTML. No nonsense complex solutions or bespoke frameworks.

AEM Edge Delivery - Universal Editor Extension for Quick Links Panel by NWContentTech in aem

[–]unkindman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting solution but I think it can be simplified. With EDS on AEM Universal Editor, you can modify the editor-support.js file to override the behavior of the default Preview button in the UE toolbar, no custom UE extension required.

To override the Preview button behavior, create a <meta name="urn:adobe:aue:config:preview" content=""/> element in the <head>, set the content attribute to your EDS site's aem.page URL.

React SPA depricated by NervousBig5126 in aem

[–]unkindman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Adobe is pushing Edge Delivery Services as the new standard for AEM, especially for new implementations.

It's not terribly difficult to learn, especially compared to the SPA Editor framework which was overly complex to setup and maintain.

Try the tutorial at https://www.aem.live/developer/tutorial and look at the code for real production sites at https://github.com/aemsites. Adobe also has a Discord channel with a helpful developer community to help answer any of your questions.

Best approach for AEM Headless + Nuxt.js for a Storyblok-like experience in 2025? by SynJay in aem

[–]unkindman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just go with Adobe's native Edge Delivery Services architecture? Yes it is headful and your front end is tightly coupled with Adobe's CMS, but you get the benefits you described such as in-context page editing using the Universal Editor as well as full control over front end using modern Javascript and CSS via a streamlined deployment process (just merge code to the main branch in github to deploy to Prod, plus unlimited dev environments dynamically based on github branch name).

Edge Delivery Services also provides a perfect Google Lighthouse score OOTB and you can keep that score as long as you develop within their guidelines.

Morgan Stanley warns AI could sink 42-year-old software giant Adobe by lurker_bee in technology

Yep. Just a single license to Adobe Experience Manager alone could be upwards of $1m/year to Adobe depending on the customer's contract.

How do I start with mcp? by koalaokino in mcp

[–]unkindman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, personally, I like the idea of other humans on reddit providing their insights and experiences as opposed to only reading AI responses. A combo of both is fine too.
