Core Components are recommended as a best practice in AEM. They are intended to speed up development time and reduce maintenance costs. In this post I demonstrate how it's possible to customize and extend the Java Script client library associated with the Core Image component in order to retain the selected Dynamic Media Image Preset and improve the authoring experience. 

In AEM as a Cloud Service, image processing has been moved to the Asset Compute Microservice. Binary files are uploaded directly to blob storage instead of streaming through the AEM JVM.  In this post, I explain how to get started with the asset upload HTTP API. I review and demonstrate the below-illustrated steps ( 1, 2, and 3) using Postman as a client application.

Sling assumes everything is a resource, so it's important for AEM developers to understand what resources are and how to work with them. In this post, I try to cover the basics and provide an overview for developers who are new to AEM.

Apache Sling 'RepoInit' script is a convenient tool for content migrations and repository initialization in AEM. Inline RepoInit Script can be added to OSGi configuration files via the scripts property of the  RepositoryInitializer OSGi factory configuration. This conveniently allows the scripts to be targeted by different run modes (e.g. author, publish) or environments (e.g. dev, stage, prod).

In this post, I explain how to include resources in a zipped action folder when working with Project Firefly and Adobe I/O Runtime actions. 

Automating notifications is a common DevOps task. In this post, I'll explain how to send Adobe Cloud Manager pipeline status notifications to Slack using a Project Firefly headless application.

Project Firefly is a framework that allows developers to build & deploy serverless applications that run within the Adobe Experience Cloud. Firefly supports both Headless and Single Page Applications.

In this post, I provide an overview of the UI.Frontend module in AEM, describe my thoughts on why frontend developers will love it, and step through how to get started by adding the UI.Frontend module to an existing AEM multi-module project.
