In this session, Kautilya will share real-world insights into the small but critical decisions that had a significant impact on business outcomes. From setting up a functional preview environment to building a robust integration layer for indexing, form submissions, and data synchronization, I’ll walk through the key architectural and implementation choices that shaped the success of the project. Whether you're planning a migration or already working with XM Cloud, these practical takeaways will help you avoid common pitfalls and drive better results.

Session 3 - XMCloud Rule Engine: A custom module for running Sitecore rules in NextJS
JSS Rule Engine is a custom module that allows running Sitecore rules with NodeJS runtime that could be used for building automation workflows and no-code chatbots in Sitecore.
By default, Sitecore doesn't support running the Sitecore rules with JSS, even though rules fields still exist in XM Cloud instances and their values are returned by Experience Edge.
The custom free module (shipped as NPM package) is aimed at covering this gap and could be easily reused in other projects.
