The video discusses Edge Delivery Services as part of the Adobe Experience Cloud, emphasizing rapid content publishing, site launches, and improved conversion rates. The service operates independently of AM tiers with a focus on serverless microservice architecture. It includes Cloudflare R2 Edge delivery service with a division into media, content, and code sections. Three types of CDNs are explained, catering to live and preview content storage. The functionality of pipelines, specifically the Helix-pipeline service for transforming documents into HTML, is highlighted. Viewers are urged to ask questions, underscoring the content's complex nature.

In this part of the video, the speaker introduces Edge Delivery Services as a component of the Adobe Experience Cloud, emphasizing its ability to deliver exceptional experiences that drive engagement and conversion. They explain that this service allows authors to update and publish content quickly, launch new sites rapidly, improve conversion rates, reduce costs, and increase content velocity. Additionally, it is clarified that Edge Delivery Services is an individual module within the Adobe Experience Cloud and can be used without the need for other Adobe Experience Cloud tiers.

In this segment of the video, the important point discussed is the introduction of document-based authoring in AMS cloud service. The authoring process involves separating content creation using tools like Google Docs or Microsoft Word from the need for an AM tier. Edge Delivery Services run parallel to AM authoring and publishing tiers, functioning as a standalone platform for website hosting without the need for an AM publish instance. Existing websites can be made compatible for Edge delivery service using a universal editor available to VIP customers with additional services, requiring Adobe’s assistance for implementation.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the structure of edge delivery services at a higher level. The architecture is based on serverless microservice architecture, where individual services are designed for single purposes and communicate through HTTPS connections. The architecture is composed of services that can be developed individually and integrated to achieve broader functionality. The Edge delivery services architecture includes three layers: client infra, Edge delivery services as microservice-based serverless infrastructure, and an authoring layer for creating content using various tools like Google Docs, Microsoft Docs, Adobe, and other third-party content sources. Communication with Adobe and storage of code and configuration in GitHub repositories are also highlighted in this segment.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses Edge delivery services which encompass storage, computing, and CDN functionalities. The content Hub is divided into asset, media, content, and code sections, each serving different types of data. Pipeline Services help transform content into hypermedia for rendering, while there are three types of CDNs explained. The Edge delivery infrastructure is implemented twice, one on AWS and the other on Cloudflare, utilizing different storage and computing resources.

00:12:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the Cloudflare R2 Edge delivery service, which is divided into three sections: media bus, content bus, and code bus. They explain the four main sections of the service: Edge, Edge pipe, authoring, and Dev sections. The Edge component involves Edge Computing platform or CDN, Edge pipe services include Markdown-based content transformation into hypermedia, authoring involves content creation using Google Docs or Microsoft Word, and Dev focuses on development workflow with frontend code and configuration stored in GitHub. The speaker also introduces three types of CDNs within the Edge delivery service: customer CDN (bring your own CDN), outer CDN for live content storage, and inner CDN for preview content storage, each serving different caching purposes.

00:15:00

In this part of the video, the main points covered are the functionality provided by pipelines, focusing on the main pipeline called Helix-pipeline service, which transforms documents into hypermedia or HTML using the Helix-HTML pipeline framework. It explains how the pipeline services work, pulling code and configuration from the code bus and publishing content from the content bus. The authoring section is also discussed, mentioning three ways to create content using Google Docs, Microsoft Docs, or a third-party sidekick browser extension. Communication through Slack and using GitHub for code synchronization are important aspects highlighted for project development. The segment concludes with a mention of Edge delivery services and upcoming detailed explanations and demonstrations in the series.
