This was the first time we’d run a SUGCON in India since 2019 and it was great to be back once more, interacting with the local Sitecore community.

With all the craziness that’s been happening over at Twitter recently, I’ve been taking a look at Mastodon. It’s similar to Twitter, but at the same time very different as well. One of the things that Twiter does well, which Mastodon struggles with a bit, is user discoverability.......

In my last post, I talked about Custom Content Resolvers and how that functionality isn’t available with XM Cloud – but how you probably don’t need them for a large portion of the scenarios being created as you can get a long way with the OOTB Content Resolvers provided by the platform.

However, it does change how you must think about your development processes......
