This is a guest post by my colleague Ben Wedenik, one of the people who wrote the Adobe Client Data Layer Extension for Launch. When my colleagues and I started to develop the “Adobe Client Data Layer” Launch Extension, we wanted to make the concept and technology of an Event Driven Data Layer (EDDL) available … Continue reading Lean Analytics with the Adobe Client Data Layer

Why not use sendBeacon?
One reaction to last weeks article on the ACDL was from @AnalyticsNinja, and it was about the 500ms wait time I mentioned: 500ms setTimeout() in click handlers.... Isn't navigator.sendBeacon sufficient? — Analytics Sith (@AnalyticsNinja) October 23, 2020 So very right he is, and the only excuse I have is that ... no, I don't have … Continue reading Why not use sendBeacon?
The Adobe Client Data Layer
I have pushed this article back so many times that I feel bad for it. So even though one part of the story isn't there yet, I'll publish it now. (Update, the Extension is now publicly available!) The story began with me moving to Switzerland and the Basel office. This office came to Adobe via … Continue reading The Adobe Client Data Layer
On letting go
Planning hero, me. Last week, I looked at blog stats, saw that the last post was 12 days ago, then hurriedly rescheduled a post to fill the perceived gap. This week, I realised I had posted three articles in September, and had created a gap for this Tuesday. So now I'm shuffling and changing my … Continue reading On letting go
Troubleshooting Launch (for beginners)

How does the “First Launches” metric work when you upgrade to the v5 Mobile SDKs?
In a call with a customer here in Switzerland, the question came up whether moving from the Mobile Services SDK (vulgo "v4") to the Experience Platform Mobile SDKs ("v5") would lead to a spike in the "First Launches" metric or not. My guess was no. I thought I had heard someone say at some point … Continue reading How does the “First Launches” metric work when you upgrade to the v5 Mobile SDKs?

Edge Nodes, Data Centres & other Updates
(aka: the URL is ok like that) In the context of ageing of technical information, obsolete blog articles, and "updating for success"[tm], this is a follow up to the 2013 article Data Centres, which really is out of date by now. It extends and partly supersedes other articles, such as Debugging - the URL, or … Continue reading Edge Nodes, Data Centres & other Updates
Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs – What changes need an app update?
I think I can safely say I speak for all of us when I say this: the first time I heard about Launch playing a role in the deployment of Experience Cloud applications on mobile, I immediately thought "tag management! On mobile! I wonder how far it goes!" Ever since, I have wondered how much … Continue reading Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs – What changes need an app update?
Big Changes Ahead!
Towards the end of 2019, the world of consultants in the Adobe Experience Cloud eco system changed. First our product management announced some changes for Workspace "Customer Journey Analytics", then Aaron Hardy, Joe Khoury, Justin Grover, and Jenny Medeiros posted an announcement about a unified Javascript library. Those are huge! I'm not sure if you … Continue reading Big Changes Ahead!
