State management is a crucial aspect of building scalable and maintainable front-end applications. In React and Next.js projects, developers often face challenges in choosing the right tool for managing the application state. This blog explores three popular state management libraries: Redux, Recoil, and Zustand, comparing their strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases in both React and Next.js applications. Why State Management Matters React’s […]

In today’s data-driven world, understanding how users interact with your application is no longer optional , it’s essential. Every scroll, click, and form submission tells a story, a story about what your users care about, what they ignore, and where they might be facing friction. This is where event tracking and analytics come into play. Traditionally, developers and product […]

Running a Sitecore Docker instance is a game-changer for developers. It streamlines deployments, accelerates local setup, and ensures consistency across environments. However, performance can suffer – even on high-end laptops – if Docker resources aren’t properly optimized, especially after a hardware upgrade. I recently faced this exact issue. My Sitecore XP0 instance, running on Docker, became […]

The world of digital experiences is evolving more quickly than ever before, and let’s be honest, artificial intelligence (AI) is more than just a trendy term these days. It’s becoming a business necessity. AI is no longer a “nice to have” for companies that use Sitecore as their Digital Experience Platform (DXP). It’s turning into […]

Abstract This article explores how artificial intelligence can transform technical evaluation processes in talent acquisition, particularly in the software development field. Through the Dessert & Learn session, two complementary approaches are presented: a basic one using prompts in Copilot for automated code analysis, and a more advanced one using intelligent agents built with n8n and the RAG […]

This blog post will discuss MultiSite validation for either ContentArea or LinkItemCollection, which are both capable of storing multiple items. Although we can use the custom MaxItem attribute to validate the ContentArea or LinkItemCollection, the problem arises when the same property is used for multiple sites with different validation limits. In a recent project, we […]

You can think of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as USB for large language models (LLMs), allowing an LLM to interact with a variety of external systems in a uniform manner. It was developed by Anthropic to solve the fundamental problem of getting a text generator (LLM) to perform real-world actions on a user’s behalf. […]

If you’re using Sitecore Docker containers on Windows, you’ve probably noticed your disk space mysteriously shrinking over time. I recently encountered this issue myself and was surprised to discover the culprit: orphaned Docker layers – leftover chunks of data that no longer belong to any container or image. My Setup This happened while I was […]

When we talk about developer experience, we often leap straight to the exciting stuff like cutting-edge platforms, AI tools, and lightning-fast frameworks. But according to Forrester’s June 2025 report, “Knowledge Management and The Developer Experience,” “In software development, effective knowledge management (KM) is crucial for developers.” An organization’s knowledge management practices determine how well teams […]

Abstract In today’s digital-first world, healthcare organizations face increasing pressure to modernize operations and improve service delivery. Intelligent automation is no longer a luxury (it’s the foundation for scalable, efficient, and personalized healthcare systems). At Perficient, we’re driving innovation by integrating tools like n8n, Azure OpenAI, and Pinecone to develop smarter, context-aware solutions for the […]

Abstract In recent years, language models and AI have reshaped how we interact with data. Yet, a significant portion of business knowledge still resides in relational databases (highly structured but not exactly user-friendly for those unfamiliar with SQL). So what if you could query that data using natural language, as if you were speaking to […]

Imagine you’re building a React app where users can log in, get notifications, and change theme preferences. With traditional tools like Redux, managing all these states can be tricky. Lots of code, a complicated setup, and a steep learning curve. Now, with Jotai, you can handle all these states with very little code and setup. […]
