Tips and strategies about performance
Replacing heavy code maintenance with fast time to market
This global corporation wanted to orchestrate content globally from multiple CMSs. Using Enterspeed as their new standard headless API, they've achieved both high performance and easy code maintenance.
Retailer powers up PIM data on Umbraco Headless
With a PIM system consisting of more than 500 suppliers and products many times that, this retailer needed to boost their e-commerce site and offer both B2B and B2C buyers high-performing UX.
Umbraco migrations vs transitions
With Umbraco's version 14 released, we want to revisit the question of upgrading or migrating your CMS. In Enterspeed, we kind of stumbled into the space of migrating CMSs by accident. Our Umbraco and Sitecore source integrations work by sending a copy of each piece of data to Enterspeed, so out of the box, you have 50% of a content migration. Of course, the other 50% is to insert the data into a new CMS instance. Working off the idea that we had 50% of the work done, we demoed a Sitecore to Umbraco migration at Codegarden 2022. The component that does the last 50% of the work is an Umbraco extension that loads the data from Enterspeed and creates it as Umbraco document types, nodes, etc.
The DIY build trap
Choosing DIY in home improvement is often a cost issue. In home improvement, you save on expertise and experience to build cheaper, but that is not really the same in building software. DIY in software still requires experts with experience, so this changes the discussion to a build vs. buy discussion. The build vs. buy discussion is often a business discussion, but in this post, we want to take the engineering perspective.

Eco-friendly CMS: Whys and hows

The middle layer is the new playing field
Enterspeed can be described in many different ways, and honestly, we do. One of the descriptions we've had mixed feelings for over the years is the term "middle layer", but perhaps it is one of the most fitting descriptions? We see that many web projects include a middle layer in one way or the other. In this post, we will place Enterspeed into the current times of web development mega-trends.

New partner in new markets 👏

Destination Logs: What to do when things go wrong?
Destinations is our name for when you configure Enterspeed to push data to other systems. Since its introduction a couple of years ago, we have seen more and more use. We are now seeing some sophisticated integration scenarios being handled in Enterspeed. And honestly, our tooling for debugging these scenarios was close to non-existent. We are now changing this, which makes us really happy because then our users will be happier (plus we will have fewer support messages...).
New Core Web Vital: Interaction to Next Paint and the Enterspeed Perspective
Interaction to Next Paint measures a web page's responsiveness to user interactions by calculating the time gap between an interaction (tap, click, or keypress) and when the UI is updated. Or put in layman's terms, how sluggish working with a webpage feels.
More glue: Introducing Enterspeed Destinations
We often describe Enterspeed as glue, and we are proud of it. The primary use case for Enterspeed is high-performance APIs, but in the last two years, we have been building a growing number of what we call Destinations. Using Enterspeed Destinations allows you to easily integrate with third-party services such as Algolia or Relewise, or build your own custom integrations using webhooks or an Azure Service Bus.

URLs in a composable world
This year marks the 30th birthday of the URL RFC, and a world without URLs is unthinkable. A URL is just a simple text string, but they are the backbone of the internet. One of the fascinating traits of URLs is that they should be understandable to both humans and computers.
