AEM for Stability, Edge Delivery for Speed: Building Dual-Paced Content Workflows

This session introduces a pragmatic approach to content architecture by combining Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) with Edge Delivery Services (EDS) to support dual-paced content workflows. Attendees will learn how to architect a publishing stack that distinguishes between long-cycle, governed content and fast, real-time updates - each delivered through the platform best suited to its needs.

The speaker will demonstrate how AEM continues to serve structured authoring, compliance workflows, and multi-step governance, while Edge Delivery enables rapid content updates through lightweight, document-based inputs like Google Docs and Markdown. The talk includes real-world patterns for routing content, sharing assets via a centralized DAM, managing cache behavior across lanes, and enabling different teams - marketing, content, and development - to work in parallel without compromise.

Using architecture diagrams, a content decision matrix, and team personas, the session offers a clear blueprint for reducing bottlenecks and delivering content at the speed today’s digital experiences demand - without sacrificing stability or control.
