Next-Level Mantras: Exploring Transformative GraphQL Applications in Sitecore XM Cloud
We delve into the synergistic capabilities of GraphQL when integrated with Sitecore XM Cloud. Our focus is to showcase/demo how GraphQL, as a query language for APIs, enhances content management and delivery within the Sitecore ecosystem. By harnessing the power of GraphQL, businesses can achieve unparalleled efficiency, flexibility, and precision in managing digital content across various channels and platforms.
Exploring Key Use Cases:
1. Streamlining Data Retrieval: Leveraging GraphQL Query Batching
GraphQL's efficiency shines through its ability to batch multiple queries into a single request, minimizing network overhead and enhancing performance.
Enhancing Content Localization: Best Practices for Layout Service Output
2. Best practice dictates that global data should not be included in the Layout Service output for individual pages. Instead, this data should be fetched separately to avoid redundancy and improve scalability.
3. Enabling Seamless Multi-Channel Content Delivery:
Sitecore XM Cloud empowers organizations to deliver content across multiple channels, including websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, and digital signage.
Integrating Sitecore XM Cloud with Algolia for Enhanced Search Capabilities
Sitecore Experience Manager Cloud (XM Cloud) is a versatile platform enabling developers and marketers to craft seamless omnichannel experiences in the Cloud using Sitecore's headless CMS. One of its pivotal features is the provision of webhooks, facilitating real-time notifications regarding events or workflow actions within the XM Cloud environment. In this endeavor, we aim to integrate Algolia, a renowned third-party search tool well-regarded for its efficacy in Sitecore implementations. Algolia offers many advanced features including facets, personalization, analytics, and A/B testing. Whether built through a web crawler or pushed via CLI and APIs, Algolia ensures meticulous control over the indexing process.
We will demo this integration with the below use cases :
1. Integration with Algolia using XM Cloud Webhook Publish Event Handler
2. Webhook endpoint fetches the necessary data from the experience edge using GraphQL queries and pushes the result set to Algolia using API or CLI
3. Configure Algolia facets, searchable attributes, ranking, sorting, synonyms, stop words, and pagination to provide reliable and robust search results that meet business needs.
