The solution has been entirely designed for the cloud and is scalable, secure, always available, and up to date.



What is AEM as a Cloud Service?

In very simple terms consider that old classic AEM was a big monolithic application and had limitations (e.g., scalability, extensibility) like any other legacy applications that are not cloud native. AEM as a Cloud Service is a result of refactoring of monolithic AEM application into a set of modular components/services that are cloud native. Because of this refactoring, AEM as a Cloud Service inherits benefits of cloud like scalability, agility, extensibility etc. Many core concepts like replication, asset computing/processing, repository services etc. have been changed as part of AEMaaCS offering. We'll look at each one of these concepts in details in upcoming articles.



Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a Cloud Service is the latest offering of the AEM product line, helping you continue to provide your customers with personalized, content-led experiences.
