Technical limitation of EDS for blog routing with Content Fragments

I’ve been testing blog implementations with Edge Delivery Services using Content Fragments exposed through GraphQL.

 

While pagination and querying work fine (limit/offset on the API side), I’ve hit a wall with routing.

 

Here’s the challenge:

  • GraphQL gives me the Content Fragment path, not the page URL where that blog post should live.

  • If I want a clean route structure like /blog/my-first-post, I end up needing to create a custom backend service that maps CFs to routes.

This feels like a big technical limitation: the API is great for retrieving content, but for something as common as blog routing, it doesn’t provide the final URL.

 

Has anyone solved this elegantly? Did you:

  • Build your own routing layer?

  • Use metadata inside the CFs to generate URLs?

  • Or is there an Adobe-recommended way to bridge this gap?
