Rules of AEM

  AI-Powered Dispatcher & CDN Optimization for AEM Introduction AEM's Dispatcher and CDN layer is the frontline of performance and security. Traditionally, caching rules, TTLs, and security filters are all manually configured. But with AI and machine learning entering the infrastructure space, it's now possible to make smarter, dynamic decisions — from predicting cache invalidation patterns to detecting bot traffic and anomalous requests automatically. In this post, we'll cover practical ways to integrate AI/ML into your AEM Dispatcher and CDN stack.           1. AI-Based Anomaly Detection in Access Logs The first and most immediately useful application is analyzing Dispatcher/Apache access logs using AI to detect DDoS patterns, credential stuffing, or scraping bots. Log Parser Script (Python + OpenAI) Instead of manually writing regex rules, feed your access logs to an LLM to identify suspicious patterns: # log_analyzer.py import openai import...

Migrating from AEM 6.x to AEM as a Cloud Service: What to Expect ? Introduction If you're currently managing an AEM 6.x project, chances are you’ve heard about AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS). Adobe is clearly shifting toward this cloud-native model for low/medium complex customers and while there are definite benefits, developers should be prepared for a few surprises too. I recently worked on a migration project and wanted to share what developers should expect , from code refactoring and CI/CD changes to losing root access and dealing with strict dispatcher rules.     Whats is Great about AEMaaCS  1. Automatic Upgrades Say goodbye to manual patching. AEMaaCS updates automatically.  Adobe handles the platform updates, with no need to plan downtime or test service packs. 2. CI/CD with Cloud Manager Deployments go through Adobe Cloud Manager, which checks for code quality, security, and performance before pu...
