The Pathway to Composable with Dataweavers

Written by Alana Deghelli | Jul 14, 2024 11:48:59 PM

At Dataweavers, we aim to enhance your internal team or external partners experience with Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs) by freeing up developers from the mundane yet essential tasks that can often consume their time. Traditionally, developers and digital teams responsible for how their Sitecore DXP is performing spend a significant amount of their efforts on maintaining infrastructure, deployments, integration and ensuring security and compliance. This not only hampers creativity, but also delays the delivery of great marketing campaigns that showcase exceptional digital experiences.  

Here’s where Dataweavers steps in. 

Our Platform Operations automate and manage these underlying functions, allowing your teams to focus entirely on crafting digital experiences for your customers and driving your digital marketing strategies. By leveraging our highly automated functionality, we ensure that you have a digital platform operating at its best, letting you maximize your resources where it really matters. 

Challenges of Composable Architecture 

Transitioning to a fully composable architecture brings a unique set of challenges, and with our extensive day-to-day experience in guiding organizations to a headless world Dataweavers is here to navigate you through these complexities. Our solution addresses three primary areas of concern: 

1. Building and Deployment
Managing the release and integration of multiple components can be daunting in a composable environment. Dataweavers ensures that all components are updated simultaneously and function cohesively, maintaining the latest content across all global front-ends. 
2. Performance
We continuously monitor the performance of headless applications and integrations to ensure optimal operation. Our platform effectively handles any throttling issues imposed by Sitecore Experience Edge, ensuring smooth and efficient performance. 
3. Security and Compliance
With the full composable stack, securing all components becomes critical. Dataweavers offers robust security measures, safeguarding your integration with line-of-business systems and ensuring comprehensive protection across your global servers.
