This is a great explanation, thanks. Given the various tutorials dont cover this, and nor the docs, I wonder how everyone knows about it. Out of interest, are the contents of the config file (i.e. the json structure and options) documented?

There is no "wknd", or "runmodes" dir in the source code that I can find. There is an i18n dir, but this is under ui.apps

you have include a snippet of XML. there is no XML in the tutorial, and my service is picking up variables without it.

Hi, there such directory /apps/... anywhere in the wknd project source code. This is the problem.

In the cloud manager, you set "IP allow lists" to stop random public viewing your non-production / in-development instances.   You set these lists to your office IPs and/or VPN IP. However, this shotgun approach blocks essential tools, e.g. blazemeter, pagespeed insights, webpagetest, lighthouse etc...

Yes, both these sites are hosted on the same aem cloud instance. But as they are different brands, we cant have one brand calling urls from another. So in this case we would need to setup a 3rd site just to host this api, with a neutral name. This is not ideal, so may be duplicating the API code for...

Interesting. That file vault config looks long winded and difficult - is it worth the effort? Does this work for code in core, or only for content? VS Code already has the ability to push files (not core) directly to a running server, is this different?

This post shows how to create an OSGi service in Java (which we assume is the only way) which creates and uses some configuration parameters which can be edited in the configMgr However, this is useless without the ability to distribute pre-set parameters for the various run modes as part of our cod...

Hi, thanks for the reply. The only issue with using the same servlet, is the domain will be wrong. E.g. i I host the serviet on mydomain.com/bin/servlet, then on site myotherdomain.com, it will be pointing to a different domain. IT will still work (assuming cors etc is setup), but doesnt look great,...

 According to this article: https://aem.redquark.org/2018/10/day-03-setting-up-aem-development.htmlYou can add your local sever.  I did this. I already have the wknd app deployed previously from the command line (mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackage) What can I do with this connected instanc...
