Deployment
For AEM as a Cloud Service, deployments are handled through Cloud Manager pipelines. For on-prem or managed services, deployments are usually package-based with additional operational checks.
Typical pipeline steps
- Build and unit test
- Package validation and static analysis
- Dispatcher validation (Cloud Service)
- Deploy to author and publish
Best practices
- Keep packages small and focused.
- Avoid content mutations in code deployments unless necessary.
- Validate dispatcher rules before promotion.
