Sitecore Adds New FEaaS Capabilities

Sitecore has added a new Front End as a Service (FEaaS) composer called XM Cloud Components, showing how serious the DXP vendor is about embracing composability.

The company has also made updates to Content Hub One, Sitecore Search, Sitecore Connect, and Sitecore Send.

“With the ability to compose on-brand, dynamic page components, brands can remain agile and responsive to customer needs in real-time, which is essential in today’s fast-paced digital landscape,” said Dave O’Flanagan, chief product officer of Sitecore.

Elsewhere, Elastic Path adds FEaaS features by acquiring Unstack, Nacelle has a new Storefront SDK, and the MACH Alliance explains its certification process.
