Tired of manually checking multiple industry sources every morning? I built an n8n automation that pulls the latest articles from trusted RSS feeds and posts them directly into Slack—filtering out duplicates and saving time. Here’s how (and why) I built it.

This series of posts, shows you how you can harness this differentiating capability in your Crownpeak CMS configurations. This post deploys PHP using Crownpeak's SmartLiving reference project.

In this series of posts, I will show you how you can harness this differentiating capability in your Crownpeak CMS configurations. This first post deploys static HTML using Crownpeak's SmartLiving reference project.

Perhaps a new analogy to describe Crownpeak’s DXL Inject® pattern, likening it to one of the geniuses of nature.

In this article, I reflect on the challenges and compromises of selecting content management platforms. Amidst this landscape, Preston So's concept of the "Universal CMS" emerges as a beacon of clarity, promising to cater to marketers and technologists seamlessly. Is there a resonance between this visionary idea and my experiences with Crownpeak's Static Hybrid CMS, hinting at a paradigm shift in content management architecture?

This article focuses on the Static CMS Hybrid-Headless architectural pattern and how it can have significant advantages against its similar, but not identical, traditional or monolithic Hybrid-Headless counterpart.

In this article, we'll discuss how many CMS vendors have extended their existing platforms to provide two (or more) of the fundamental architectures in an attempt to win the battle to the top.

In this article, we'll discuss the most common types of publishing architectures within the world's content management system (CMS) platforms from a business owner's perspective. We'll explain what each is and highlight the various advantages of each, but we'll also highlight some things to be aware of when you select a particular platform architecture.

At Crownpeak, we built SDKs for the three main SPA frameworks (React, Vue.JS and Angular) to seamlessly "wire up" the SPA to data provided by DXM and to generate all of the DXM configuration required to support the authoring capabilities. The ability to iterate through an application, identify everything required to support the content author, and automatically generate it all (i.e., templates, components, models) saves days of work!

In this post, I will guide you through the steps to deploy a serverless Web Delivery Infrastructure using Amazon Web Services.

A "pre-SDK" method for feeding React applications from Crownpeak DXM.

Crownpeak DXM greatly reduces the overhead associated with the traditional DTAP environment.

Crownpeak Digital Experience Management (DXM)’s Decoupled Content Deployment Architecture provides organisations with complete flexibility in what, how and where content is distributed. In today’s modern customer-experience-focussed world, the ability to curate content in a single location, taking advantage of centralised governance while enabling local market flexibility, then deploying this optimised content to the right channel for the customer at the right time, gives global organisations a strategic advantage over their competitors.

In this post, we will install pre-requisite compilation tools, download & compile version 2.6.16, and install as a service within CentOS.

I have recently had to automate the backup of all databases upon a MySql server, compress, and save to a SMB/CIFS share.

This post describes installation & configuration of a single node installation, built on-top of CentOS6. It assumes that internet access is available from the OS.

This guide covers installation, configuration and a number of useful tips for working with Solr (v4.4.0) under Tomcat (v7) on CentOS (v6).

This post describes installation & configuration of a basic 2-node cluster built on-top of CentOS 6. It assumes that internet access is available from the OS.
