I have always said that Sitecore MVP Summit is the best perk of all the MVP program benefits available. Usually, it is a tsunami of insightful information and considerations, shared with the group of MVPs for discussion and feedback in return. Because of that MVPs can have a planning horizon, in terms of work, development, […]

What an amazing week it was! All three events took place at the same venue – Radisson Blu Convention Center within the largest shopping mall in the US – Mall of America in Minneapolis. The city has a significant Sitecore presence, not to say it is a place where OrderCloud originates from. MVP Summit On […]

The approach I am going to show you would work for any CI/CD pipeline with XM Cloud with some level of customization, however, I will be showing it on an example of GitHub Actions. Why? One would ask – if my codebase is located at GitHub, why on earth would I need to leverage GitHub […]

In my previous post (XM Cloud Deployments: Static site deployment using Vercel CLI), I created a Sitecore XM Cloud deploy script to use the Vercel CLI. In this next challenge, I will be looking at doing the same in Netlify. A little background: Netlify and Vercel are two major competitors in the JamStack space. Both […]

Many of you who want to start a headless solution come into a situation where there is a lot of information available and it is difficult to identify which approach to take. Sitecore features decent documentation, but it covers only part of a desired solution and is segmented. This post will address the problem and […]

For the scenario of independent deployment of your NextJs static site, say in an automated deployment, one missing piece is a way to push the SSG site into Vercel. Here I provided a simple deployment script using the Vercel CLI of the static site in the XM Cloud project. Code: # Set up variables with […]
