AEM and PIM systems integration

 

by@Tethich 

Overview

When it comes to showcasing products on the website it is always a challenging thing to achieve. On top of this, having the website hosted on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) makes no exception when it comes to extra challenges. Au contraire, we might face additional particularities that we need to address and pay attention to.


Let's dive in together in couple of system architectures solutions, explore how involved services interact and communicate which each other, and how data can be ingested, enhanced and consumed.

 

Key aspects

- Usual context and need within the client's digital ecosystem
- Thinking process to navigate through roadblocks and setbacks
- Architecture overview and couple of real-life architectures designs
- System services specializations, responsibilities and integrations

The integration architecture is very helpful!'


However, we are facing a challenge because we are developing microservices in the Adobe App Builder, which does not include a built-in database in its infrastructure.

We are attempting to use the Adobe I/O State and Files library as a substitute for a database server, but this approach is proving to be quite challenging.

@Tethich Thanks for putting this together. It’s super useful to see the architecture options. Curious to hear your view: with the rise of headless commerce setups, do you see AEM–PIM integrations becoming simpler (more API-driven) or actually more complex with additional orchestration layers?
