Towards the end I mentioned a new iteration of Drupal(Starshot). It is now here, Startshot, i.e. Drupal CMS was released on Jan 15th. As it becomes part of the Drupal […]

How to ensure your toolset matches your vision, team and long term goals. Seems common sense right? Use the right tool for the right purpose. However, in the DXP and Drupal space, we often see folks trying to fit their project to the tool and not the tool to the project. There are many modules, […]

Sitecore Content Hub is a world-class platform for centralizing and managing content across various channels. It helps businesses organize and streamline often chaotic, messy content operations.

A testing technique known as “Data Driven Testing” (DDT) uses test data that is pulled from external data sources like databases, CSV files, Excel files, or other structured data formats.

Our typical problem arises when we wish to incorporate an API into our mobile app. Consider the situation in which you need to create a mobile app for an existing system. The system was one monolithic solution that exposed an API that exclusively served the web client. The client’s proposal is not restricted to new mobile apps, […]

If you read my last article, the big deal with headless, you know that the big deal is performance. The architecture you get leveraging a headless architecture with Next.js front end is fundamentally superior to MVC. When you are ready to make the move to headless, you may be surprised that there isn’t just one […]
