AEM Workflows on AEM as a Cloud Service

5 articles

Workflows are one of the areas that changed the most in the move to AEM as a Cloud Service. This series walks through them in order: the basic model, what AEMaaCS actually lets you customize (and what it does not), advanced topics like transient workflows and failure handling, a large-scale multi-site/translation use case, and finally the kind of workflow questions that come up in AEM architect interviews.
