Amazon Web Service & Adobe Experience Manager:- A Journey together (Part-5)

In the previous parts (1,2,3 & 4) we discussed how one day digital market leader meet with the a friend AWS in the Cloud and become very popular pair. It bring a lot of gifts for the digital marketing persons. Then we started a journey into digital market leader house basement and structure, mainly repository CRX and the way its MK organized. Ways how both can live and what smaller modules they used to give architectural benefits.Also visited how the are structured together to give more.

In this part as well will see on the more in architectural side.

AEM scale in the cloud

A dynamic architecture with a variable number of AEM images is required to fulfill the operational business needs.

AEM as a Cloud Service is based on the use of an orchestration engine.Dynamically scales each of the service instances as per the actual needs; both scaling up or down as appropriate.

Scaling is a very simple task in AWS with creating separate Amazon Machine Images(AMIs) for publish , publish-dispatcher and author- dispatcher instance.

Use an AMI

Three separate launch configurations can be created using these AMIs and included in separate Auto Scaling groups(Auto Scaling groups - Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling).

AWS Lambda can provide scaling logic for scale up/down events from Auto Scaling groups.

Scaling logic consists of pairing/unpairing the newly launched dispatcher instance to an available publish instance or vice versa, updating the replication agent (reverse replication, if applicable) between the newly launched publish and author, and updating AEM content health check alarms.

One more approach for the quicker startup and synchronization, AEM installation can place on a separate EBS volume. A frequent snapshots of the volume and attachment to the newly-launched instances, Cut-down need of replicate large amounts of author data. Also it ensure the latest content.

CDN:-Content Delivery Network or Content Distribution Network

A CDN is a group of geographically distributed and interconnected servers. They provide cached internet content from a network location closest to a user to speed up its delivery.

AWS is having answer of CDN requirement as well in the form of Amazon CloudFront a Low-Latency Content Delivery Network (CDN)

How it works

It will act as an additional caching layer with AEM dispatcher. Also it require proper content invalidation when it refreshed.

Explicit configuration of duration of particular resources are held in the CloudFront cache, expiration and cache-control headers sent by dispatcher required to control caching into CloudFront .

Cache control headers controlled by using mod_expires Apache Module.

Another approach will be API-based invalidation a custom invalidation workflow and set up an AEM Replication Agent that will use your own ContentBuilder and TransportHandler to invalidate the Amazon CloudFront cache using API.

These all about caching of static content only what is the solution or way to handle Dynamic content will see now.

Content which is Dynamic in Nature

Dispatcher is the key element of caching layer with the AEM. But it will not give full benefit when complete page is not cacheable. Now the question arise how dynamic content can fit into page without breaking the caching feature. There are some standard suggestion available. Like Edge Side Includes (ESIs),client-side JavaScript or Server Side Includes (SSIs) incorporate dynamic elements in a static page.

AWS is also have one solution as Varnish(replacing the dispatcher) to handle ESIs . But its not recommended by Adobe.

Till here we have seen structure of content dynamic static and various ways, but digital solution also have huge number of Assets mainly binary data. These need to configure handle properly to ensure performance of the site.

Again AWS is equipped with great solution called Amazon S3.

AEM Data Store with Amazon S3

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), binary data can be stored independently from the content nodes. The binary data is stored in a data store, whereas content nodes are stored in a node store.

Both data stores and node stores can be configured using OSGi configuration. Each OSGi configuration is referenced using a persistent identifier (PID).

AEM can be configured to store data in Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3), with following PID for configuration

org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.blob.datastore.S3DataStore.config

To enable the S3 data store functionality, a feature pack containing the S3 Datastore Connector must be downloaded and installed. For more detail please refer Configuring node stores and data stores in AEM 6 | Adobe Experience Manager

This will simplifying management and backups. Also, sharing of binary data store across author and between author & publish instances will be possible and easier task with AWS S3 solution. it will reduce overall storage and data transfer requirements.

Already this great combination walkthroug of the structure combination posibbilities , we will see one more variation available for the Cloud version of AEM with AWS in next (AEM OpenCloud)

Thanks for being with me till this , we will meet in next part with some amazing journey of OpenClode.

Hope you enjoy most till this part, kindly keep your blessings and love to motivate me.

hi, I was wanting to try out modding Minecraft but I'm a little lost lol and I don't know where to start. What mods do you like to play with? What's the difference between fabric and forge?

Fabric and Forge are two different modloaders! They're programs that allows Minecraft to understand the code being added to it. However, they do this in different ways, and when you make a mod, you need to start with a modloader as a base. So a mod made in Fabric won't necessarily work in Forge. There are some addons you can get that will make some Fabric mods load in Forge, like Connector, Cloth API, and Forgified Fabric API, but it's no guarantee.

Me: nervously submits a pull request for all the work I've been doing for the past month involving multiple apis and internal connectors I've built from scratch and just so so much opportunity for extreme fuckupage

My boss: minutes later approves and merges everything in one giant sweep WHILE IN A MEETING SO I KNOW DAMN BLOODY WELL YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT EVEN A SINGLE LINE

I appreciate the vote of confidence here but Code Father why must you refuse to aid me in avoiding your disappointment why do you leave this door open Code Father please

Best Odoo Power BI Connector In Market: Full Comparative Analysis

In today’s fast-paced business environment, having a reliable ERP system isn’t just beneficial—it's essential.  Odoo has made a name for itself with its flexible and integrated approach, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions for businesses of all sizes. If you're serious about getting insights that truly matter, connecting Odoo ERP with a powerful analytics tool like Microsoft Power BI is where the magic happens. By doing this, you can pull data from different areas of Odoo and create insightful dashboards, helping you make informed, data-driven decisions.

In this post, we'll take a closer look at the Power BI connectors available from top providers—Techfinna, Webkul, Cdata, and Cybrosys. Our goal is to help you navigate these options so you can find the right fit for your needs.

Why Consider a Power BI Connector for Odoo?

You might be asking yourself, “What’s the big deal about integrating Power BI with Odoo?” That’s a totally valid question! While Odoo offers a robust platform for managing your business, when it comes to advanced reporting and analytics, Power BI really stands out. Connecting these two tools can transform the way you analyze data.

Here’s why you should think about this integration:

Create Dynamic Dashboards: Imagine having real-time insights at your fingertips. Dynamic dashboards help you visualize your business data like never before.

Tailor Your Visuals: Every business has unique needs. With Power BI, you can customize your data visuals to tell the story that's most important for you and your team.

Dive Deep into Data Patterns: Tackling complex data can be daunting, but this integration allows you to uncover patterns that help drive strategic decisions.

In comparison, other providers like Webkul, CData, and Cybrosys offer decent solutions but lack the direct connectivity and easy integration that Techfinna provides. Techfinna is the best Odoo Power BI Connector due to its unique direct connection capability, allowing for flawless integration with Odoo and real-time data synchronization.

Conclusion

The Techfinna Power BI Connector is the top choice for businesses looking to enhance their analytics and reporting capabilities. Its direct connection capability, real-time synchronization, and user-friendly design make it the ideal solution for companies aiming to maximize their data’s potential.

While competitors offer viable API-based options, Techfinna’s connector delivers unmatched performance and efficiency, making it the preferred choice for Odoo and Power BI integration.

What is Argo CD? And When Was Argo CD Established?

What Is Argo CD?

Argo CD is declarative Kubernetes GitOps continuous delivery.

In DevOps, ArgoCD is a Continuous Delivery (CD) technology that has become well-liked for delivering applications to Kubernetes. It is based on the GitOps deployment methodology.

When was Argo CD Established?

Argo CD was created at Intuit and made publicly available following Applatix’s 2018 acquisition by Intuit. The founding developers of Applatix, Hong Wang, Jesse Suen, and Alexander Matyushentsev, made the Argo project open-source in 2017.

Why Argo CD?

Declarative and version-controlled application definitions, configurations, and environments are ideal. Automated, auditable, and easily comprehensible application deployment and lifecycle management are essential.

Getting Started

Quick Start

kubectl create namespace argocd kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

For some features, more user-friendly documentation is offered. Refer to the upgrade guide if you want to upgrade your Argo CD. Those interested in creating third-party connectors can access developer-oriented resources.

How it works

Argo CD defines the intended application state by employing Git repositories as the source of truth, in accordance with the GitOps pattern. There are various approaches to specify Kubernetes manifests:

Applications for Customization

Helm charts

JSONNET files

Simple YAML/JSON manifest directory

Any custom configuration management tool that is set up as a plugin

The deployment of the intended application states in the designated target settings is automated by Argo CD. Deployments of applications can monitor changes to branches, tags, or pinned to a particular manifest version at a Git commit.

Architecture

The implementation of Argo CD is a Kubernetes controller that continually observes active apps and contrasts their present, live state with the target state (as defined in the Git repository). Out Of Sync is the term used to describe a deployed application whose live state differs from the target state. In addition to reporting and visualizing the differences, Argo CD offers the ability to manually or automatically sync the current state back to the intended goal state. The designated target environments can automatically apply and reflect any changes made to the intended target state in the Git repository.

Components

API Server

The Web UI, CLI, and CI/CD systems use the API, which is exposed by the gRPC/REST server. Its duties include the following:

Status reporting and application management

Launching application functions (such as rollback, sync, and user-defined actions)

Cluster credential management and repository (k8s secrets)

RBAC enforcement

Authentication, and auth delegation to outside identity providers

Git webhook event listener/forwarder

Repository Server

An internal service called the repository server keeps a local cache of the Git repository containing the application manifests. When given the following inputs, it is in charge of creating and returning the Kubernetes manifests:

URL of the repository

Revision (tag, branch, commit)

Path of the application

Template-specific configurations: helm values.yaml, parameters

A Kubernetes controller known as the application controller keeps an eye on all active apps and contrasts their actual, live state with the intended target state as defined in the repository. When it identifies an Out Of Sync application state, it may take remedial action. It is in charge of calling any user-specified hooks for lifecycle events (Sync, PostSync, and PreSync).

Features

Applications are automatically deployed to designated target environments.

Multiple configuration management/templating tools (Kustomize, Helm, Jsonnet, and plain-YAML) are supported.

Capacity to oversee and implement across several clusters

Integration of SSO (OIDC, OAuth2, LDAP, SAML 2.0, Microsoft, LinkedIn, GitHub, GitLab)

RBAC and multi-tenancy authorization policies

Rollback/Roll-anywhere to any Git repository-committed application configuration

Analysis of the application resources’ health state

Automated visualization and detection of configuration drift

Applications can be synced manually or automatically to their desired state.

Web user interface that shows program activity in real time

CLI for CI integration and automation

Integration of webhooks (GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab)

Tokens of access for automation

Hooks for PreSync, Sync, and PostSync to facilitate intricate application rollouts (such as canary and blue/green upgrades)

Application event and API call audit trails

Prometheus measurements

To override helm parameters in Git, use parameter overrides.

Quote of the Week

My take on this is that you cannot use async Rust correctly and fluently without understanding Arc, Mutex, the mutability of variables/references, and how async and await syntax compiles in the end. Rust forces you to understand how and why things are the way they are. It gives you minimal abstraction to do things that could’ve been tedious to do yourself.

I got a chance to work on two projects that drastically forced me to understand how async/await works. The first one is to transform a library that is completely sync and only requires a sync trait to talk to the outside service. This all sounds fine, right? Well, this becomes a problem when we try to port it into browsers. The browser is single-threaded and cannot block the JavaScript runtime at all! It is arguably the most weird environment for Rust users. It is simply impossible to rewrite the whole library, as it has already been shipped to production on other platforms.

What we did instead was rewrite the network part using async syntax, but using our own generator. The idea is simple: the generator produces a future when called, and the produced future can be awaited. But! The produced future contains an arc pointer to the generator. That means we can feed the generator the value we are waiting for, then the caller who holds the reference to the generator can feed the result back to the function and resume it. For the browser, we use the native browser API to derive the network communications; for other platforms, we just use regular blocking network calls. The external interface remains unchanged for other platforms.

Honestly, I don’t think any other language out there could possibly do this. Maybe C or C++, but which will never have the same development speed and developer experience.

I believe people have already mentioned it, but the current asynchronous model of Rust is the most reasonable choice. It does create pain for developers, but on the other hand, there is no better asynchronous model for Embedded or WebAssembly.

How to Overcome Common Challenges in Software Integration

In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses rely on a variety of software solutions to manage operations, connect teams, and deliver services. However, getting these systems to work together seamlessly is not always easy. That’s where software integration comes in. While the benefits are substantial—improved efficiency, real-time data access, and better decision-making—the journey to successful integration is often riddled with challenges.

If you're exploring a Software Integration service in Ahmedabad, understanding these common issues and how to tackle them will ensure smoother execution and better ROI.

1. Incompatibility Between Systems

Challenge: One of the biggest hurdles in software integration is compatibility. Different software platforms may be built on different technologies, use different data formats, or have conflicting protocols.

Solution: Use middleware or API gateways that can bridge gaps between technologies. Opting for experienced software integration service providers in Ahmedabad can help design custom connectors or recommend standard solutions that ensure smooth communication.

2. Lack of Clear Integration Strategy

Challenge: Many businesses jump into integration without a clear roadmap, leading to poor execution and misalignment with business goals.

Solution: Begin with a detailed analysis of business needs and create a well-documented integration strategy. A professional Software Integration service in Ahmedabad can assist in outlining goals, tools, timelines, and KPIs to measure success.

3. Data Inconsistency and Redundancy

Challenge: Integrating systems often reveals discrepancies in how data is stored, labeled, or processed across platforms. This leads to duplication or inaccuracies.

Solution: Invest time in data mapping and cleansing before integration. Implement data governance policies to maintain quality and consistency. Integration experts in Ahmedabad can also set up centralized data models to avoid redundancy.

4. Security and Compliance Risks

Challenge: Integrating systems can expose sensitive data if not handled correctly, leading to compliance violations or data breaches.

Solution: Incorporate robust encryption, user authentication, and access control in the integration architecture. Reliable Software Integration service providers in Ahmedabad are well-versed in GDPR, HIPAA, and other compliance standards and can help ensure secure integration.

5. Downtime and Business Disruption

Challenge: System integration can sometimes require downtime or temporarily affect operations.

Solution: Plan integration in stages, with thorough testing at each level. Use sandbox environments to simulate the real scenario before going live. An experienced service provider in Ahmedabad will always recommend minimizing disruption through proper scheduling and backup plans.

6. Scaling and Maintenance Issues

Challenge: Many integration solutions fail when the business scales or when systems are updated.

Solution: Design scalable integration architecture using modular tools and cloud services. Make sure the solution is easy to maintain and update as technology evolves. Choosing a future-ready Software Integration service in Ahmedabad ensures your integration grows with your business.

Final Thoughts

Software integration is not just a technical task—it’s a strategic move that can drive business transformation. But it requires thoughtful planning, the right tools, and expert guidance. Whether you’re a startup or an established business, partnering with a reputable Software Integration service in Ahmadabad can help you avoid common pitfalls and unlock the full potential of your digital infrastructure.
