I am happy to present a guest post by my colleague Ben Wedenik, who, following a not so old, but very good tradition, writes about keeping implementations ridiculously simple. What does a lean and scalable Web SDK implementation look like? How to stay flexible while still having a powerful tag manager setup? I’m going to … Continue reading A Powerful Trio of Extensions for a scalable Platform Setup

Consent and Launch
I've pondered, written, deleted, re-written, forgotten, re-written, merged, and then deleted this article a bunch of times before. What you're reading today is like the 50th iteration. The kudos go entirely to my colleagues in product management and engineering, who (in my opinion) are doing a blast of a job with Launch and the Extension … Continue reading Consent and Launch
Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK
Last year, in April, I opined that a big change was coming for all of us who work with Analytics, Target, or Audience Manager. That change has been in the making for some time. I remember how Bret and Ben dropped some subtle hints some time ago in London. They were clearly exited, and, as … Continue reading Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK
Quick tip: Passing Data into a Data Element
We interrupt our regular schedule for a very quick tip today, one that I learned about just last week: you can pass data into the getVar() method, and use that data inside your Custom Code Data Element! I learned about that from fellow #measure slack contributor Francis Li, and, somewhat embarrassing, should've seen it a … Continue reading Quick tip: Passing Data into a Data Element
Lean Analytics with the Adobe Client Data Layer
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
Troubleshooting Launch (for beginners)
The most frustrating situation in tech is when you start working on something new, and it won't work. You don't understand what is going on, because your knowledge, quite frankly, isn't there yet, and all the pages you find online give you different, conflicting advice. 'Use the official plugin,' one says, and it shows how … Continue reading Troubleshooting Launch (for beginners)
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?
