Sites Config disrupted by Assets launch?

Can anyone provide any insight w/ this? 

First, I'm not a developer. I'm a DAM. So my knowledge has its limits.

Recently, our company launched new websites and did so via AEM Sites.

Now, we're ready to launch Assets DAM, using AWS w/ YM AMS support as we did for Sites. .

Will the configuration of the Sites solution be affected if there is customized Config for the Assets solution?

In short, the Assets solution is intentionally being non-customized, w/ no componentry, because of the concern

that the Assets config may disrupt the pre-existing Sites config.

I find it kind of hard to believe that the entire AEM universe we have with all its possible solutions and integrations would be stuck w/ a single Config.

This would mean that every web site built in Sites would have to adhere to same Config? That sounds incredibly restrictive and

anti-intuitive. I thought each Solution (if not, each Site) stood on their own and worked independently of others.

Can someone confirm this? Or explain?

Much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,

    when you say "Config", do you have something special in mind?

    Technically it's not a problem to run AEM Sites and DAM in parallel on the same instance(s). There might be other reasons (technical and non-technical ones) not to do that, that there a lot of customers out there which run AEM Sites and DAM in parallel.

    To actually address your question and concern, you should get in contact with your implementation partner; they know the existing site solution best and can say if the sites implementation has side-effects to any DAM functionality. But to be honest I would be surprised if there are any. Sites and DAM have been developed to work side-by-side.

    Did you experience something to suggest to Assets somehow effected Sites?  I have never heard of such a scenario. Can you please describe what occurred in more detail.
