AEM: Introduction to AEM Author and Publisher Instance


AEM is typically deployed in two main instances: Author and Publish. Let's explore each of them:

AEM Author Instance: (port:4502)

  • The Author instance is where content creators, editors, and administrators work to create and manage digital content.
  • Authors use the Author instance to create and edit web pages, digital assets, and other content elements.
  • It provides a user-friendly interface for content creation, allowing non-technical users to manage the content easily.
  • Authors can collaborate, review, and approve content changes before publishing them to the live website.

AEM Publish Instance: (port:4503)

  • The Publish instance is where the finalized and approved content is made available to the public.
  • Once the content is created and approved on the Author instance, it is replicated to the Publish instance for delivery to end-users.
  • The Publish instance is optimized for performance and scalability to handle high traffic loads efficiently.
  • It is a read-only instance, serving content to end-users without allowing content modifications.

Content includes web pages, digital assets, and other components that collectively form the user experience.
