  • Tracking Asset Usage: Designing a Resilient Serverless Delta Middleware

    Tracking Asset Usage: Designing a Resilient Serverless Delta Middleware

    In my previous post, we looked at how to extend a Sitecore XP implementation to capture granular publishing events and fire off non-blocking telemetry signals. By adopting a fire-and-forget approach, we ensured that the CMS remains fast and unaffected by any potential downstream network latency. But once those publishing signals leave Sitecore, the real heavy…

    Tracking Asset Usage: Deep Diving into the Sitecore Publishing Lifecycle

    In my previous post, I introduced a cloud-native architectural concept to track Sitecore asset usage within Content Hub in real time. The strategy is straightforward: rather than pulling data from Sitecore via heavy, on-demand crawls, we want the CMS to actively push usage signals to an external middleware layer the moment content goes live. However,…

  • Real-time asset usage in Content Hub: a concept

    Real-time asset usage in Content Hub: a concept

    Sitecore Content Hub does not provide built-in functionality to track asset usage in the Sitecore CMS. When using the Content Hub CDN to serve images directly to a Sitecore XP website, this creates the risk of deleting assets that are still in use, resulting in broken images. And as a result, content editors become hesitant…

  • Extending Sitecore using serverless architectures

    Extending Sitecore using serverless architectures

    Our universe is expanding, literally. But that also goes for both the Sitecore topology and the Azure stack. In this blog I want to take you on a trip through our Cloud galaxy to show you how you can manage this increased complexity and how you can leverage the potential of these new Azure services…

  • Watch Robbie go headless

    Watch Robbie go headless

    Lately, a few colleagues and me were brainstorming about a new concept for a customer, discovering new capabilities, and tinkering about innovations and how they could change the interaction with their users. It isn’t a new topic at all, but what if we could remove most of the user interface and focus on only those…

  • Isolated feature testing in a Sitecore Docker Container

    Isolated feature testing in a Sitecore Docker Container

    Earlier this year, I spoke about running Sitecore in a Docker Container for testing purposes on a Sitecore User Group meeting in the Netherlands, together with my colleagues Raymond Clemens and Roel Snetselaar. We formed a team at the Colours Hackathon 2016, spending almost 24 hours figuring out Docker and building out our very cool…

  • Colours Hackathon

    Colours Hackathon

    Last week we had our first Hackathon at Colours, and it was a blast! There were a lot of great ideas, ranging from better time-tracking apps and a mobile poker app for Scrum poker sessions, to multiple content management add-ons and even an iBeacon utility that you can easily administer online. My submission came in…
