Sitecore has ramped up their discussions, documentation, and marketing material around important architecture and development topics, including XM Cloud, SaaS, Headless, Experience Edge, JSS, Jamstack, Static Site Generation, Next.js, Vercel, and Deployment as a Service, among others.

As a platinum partner of Sitecore and many-year MVP, I am fortunate to have participated in behind-the-scenes conversations, access to key decision-makers at Sitecore, and work closely with experts who care deeply about where this is going. I want to simplify the conversation as much as possible, summarize these really important architectural features so everyone can understand what they are, and break down what I am seeing as the next-best and long-term actions to be considering as Sitecore customers move forward with Sitecore.

My plan is to create a presentation from the following blog post: https://www.verndale.com/insights/emerging-technology/hitchhikers-guide-to-sitecore-architecture-in-2022
