Adobe Edge Delivery Services

Q: Does EDS replace my existing AEM infrastructure?

Not necessarily. EDS can coexist with traditional AEM Sites within the same domain. It can be used to modernize the frontend (decoupling) while keeping content in AEM, or to consolidate microsites from other CMS platforms (such as WordPress or Drupal) into a more agile architecture.

Q: What technical skills does my development team need?

Only solid knowledge of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. By removing dependencies on heavy frameworks and complex build processes, EDS reduces the learning curve and makes it easier to scale teams.

Q: How is code managed in EDS?

The entire workflow is centered around GitHub. Code is stored in repositories, and any updates to design or functionality are deployed directly from there, allowing changes to go live instantly without rebuilding the site.

FAQ

What exactly is Edge Delivery Services?

It is a modern content delivery framework integrated into Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) that redefines website creation by optimizing speed, simplicity, and scalability.

Unlike traditional approaches, it moves rendering and delivery to the edge, enabling near-instant response times.

How does EDS accelerate time-to-market?

EDS significantly reduces launch timelines—from months to just a few weeks—through:

Simplified development: No need for complex frameworks (such as React or Angular), using only standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
AI-powered automation: The Experience Modernization Agent automates repetitive migration and content import tasks, compressing months of effort into weeks.
Project accelerators: Templates like AEM Boilerplate allow teams to launch a ready-to-customize site in minutes.

What tools do content authors need to learn?

Virtually none. EDS enables document-based authoring, allowing teams to use Microsoft Word (via SharePoint) or Google Docs to create and edit content.

With the AEM Sidekick extension, authors can preview and publish directly from these tools without accessing a complex CMS.

What does it mean that EDS guarantees a “Lighthouse 100” score?

EDS is designed with a performance-first approach. Projects start with a perfect score of 100 in Google Lighthouse.

Additionally, every time a developer submits a change (Pull Request) in GitHub, the system ensures the score does not decrease—keeping the site fast over time.

How does EDS impact business performance?

Strong technical performance directly translates into business outcomes:

Organic traffic: Documented increases of up to 3x in monthly organic traffic.
SEO: Extremely fast pages (LCP < 1 second) improve rankings in search engines and generative engines (GEO).
Conversion: Faster load times reduce bounce rates—every second of delay can cost up to 7% in conversions.

Does EDS replace my existing AEM infrastructure?

Not necessarily. EDS can coexist with traditional AEM Sites within the same domain.

It can be used to modernize the frontend (decoupling) while keeping content in AEM, or to consolidate microsites from other CMS platforms (such as WordPress or Drupal) into a more agile architecture.
