Gatsby announces new JS Plugin for WordPress

February 10, 2021 /

Gatsby, Inc. announced general availability of the Gatsby Plugin for WordPress. The Plugin is available for download and is supported in Gatsby Cloud. Using Gatsby as the frontend and WordPress as the backend CMS organizations can deliver richer, more complex, integrated web experiences that combine content from WordPress and other CMSs and web services. Content creators enjoy the same WordPress authoring experience they already know. After content is published in WordPress, Gatsby sources the updated content and generates the static HTML pages. WordPress developers can now use development tools and technologies like Javascript, Git, and modern APIs to create richer, more performant web experiences.

The Gatsby Plugin for WordPress leverages WPGraphQL to enable organizations currently using WordPress to create performant, secure Gatsby web frontends. WPGraphQL is a free, open-source plugin for WordPress that delivers an extendable GraphQL schema and API, which Gatsby leverages to use WordPress as a headless CMS. The Gatsby content hub architecture built on GraphQL can access content from web services and CMSs, including WordPress, utilizing the library of over 2,500 Gatsby Plugins. This enables organizations to create complex, integrated web experiences based on content from multiple data sources.

Franz announces AllegroGraph 7.1

February 8, 2021 /

Franz Inc., supplier of Graph Database technology for AI knowledge graph solutions, announced AllegroGraph 7.1, which provides optimizations for complex queries across FedShard deployments faster. AllegroGraph with FedShard allows infinite data integration through unifying all data and siloed knowledge into an Entity-Event Knowledge Graph solution for Enterprise scale analytics. Big Data predictive analytics requires a data model approach that unifies typical enterprise data with knowledge bases such as taxonomies, ontologies, industry terms and other domain knowledge. The Entity-Event Data Model utilized by AllegroGraph puts core ‘entities’ such as customers, patients, students or people of interest at the center and then collects several layers of knowledge related to the entity as ‘events’. The events represent activities that transpire in a temporal context.

The AllegroGraph 7.1 release accelerates complex reasoning across enterprise-scale data by providing users with additional query options. Franz’s Research and Development team discovered an approach that can significantly improve certain SPARQL Path Expression queries across database shards. AllegroGraph’s advanced caching methods and merge join operations provide optimizations to the scalable, parallel distributed query approach that is offered via FedShard. The new release includes support for the RDF* and SPARQL* extensions and extended support for SHACL (SHApe Constraint Language).

Adobe adds new headless CMS capabilities to experience manager

February 8, 2021 /

Adobe announced new headless content management system (CMS) capabilities in Adobe Experience Manager to help developers seamlessly deliver content, and new updates to the Commerce Integration Framework (CIF) allow developers to create shoppable app-like experiences that combine content and commerce.

To allow developers to fuel content into multiple touchpoints, Adobe is introducing GraphQL APIs for headless content delivery. GraphQL, an application-agnostic query language to retrieve content, lets developers get exactly the content they need, nothing extra, so that content matches the needs of their app. Additionally, queries can also return all nested content in a single call. Because fewer requests are being made in both directions and less bandwidth is being used. By leveraging the GraphQL API, a mobile app developer can query for marketing content from Adobe Experience Manager. Personalized content is then sent to the app which renders its UI. From there, a marketer can use Experience Manager’s authoring UI to flexibly add and edit marketing content across multiple devices and touchpoints.

Adobe Experience Manager can now integrate and extend commerce services from Magento and other commerce solutions through Adobe’s Commerce Integration Framework (CIF). CIF is built on APIs that can be extended, enabling a storefront authoring experience in Adobe Experience Manager.

Automattic acquires Parse.ly

February 5, 2021 /

Parse.ly is joining WPVIP, Automattic’s enterprise WordPress SaaS software division. With the Parse.ly acquisition, WPVIP is expanding their commitment from supporting premium WordPress-based content management to the much wider market of digital experience, across all content platforms.

For WPVIP, content management is only one part of this much wider digital experience market. In the same way that you can use Adobe Analytics (formerly Omniture) without using Adobe CQ or Experience Manager (AEM), Parse.ly users can use our product without using WordPress or WordPress VIP. With the addition of Parse.ly, WPVIP now offers a way for any site or app, running any CMS (or even several CMSes), to utilize our content analytics system. As a customer, regardless of whether you’re running WordPress or not, Parse.ly will continue to provide active, CMS-agnostic development and support.

Parse.ly’s open source WordPress plugin is already a popular way to deploy Parse.ly to websites. And we have lots of ideas for how Parse.ly’s dashboard and API can improve enterprise WordPress sites. Parse.ly has worked with media, entertainment, e-commerce, financial services, professional services, non-profits, tech, and more. We’ve sold to Fortune 100 companies, and across every continent (except Antarctica). And worked across content teams, marketing teams, product teams, and data teams with titles ranging from C-level executive to copywriter to data scientist.
