Edge Functions and OIDC Authentication in Adobe Managed CDN

This talk explores how you can use edge functions to deliver seamless and secure experiences through Adobe Managed CDN. This is particularly important for Edge Delivery Services where no native compute capabilities are available but also for AEMaaCS for use cases like personalization and authentication.

We will discuss the power of edge functions, focusing on building JavaScript applications that run directly at the edge. Learn how to design, develop, and deploy lightweight, high-performance applications that execute closer to the end user, enabling real-time personalization, faster response times, and reduced server load.

We will dive into the integration of OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication at the edge using CDN rules, enabling secure access control and identity management without compromising performance. Attendees will gain insights into how edge functions process authentication requests closer to the user, reducing latency and improving efficiency.
