The AEM challenge in China

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a powerful CMS, but it has one major drawback for businesses that need to reach a global customer base: AEM is not available as a cloud service in mainland China.

Spinning browser - symbol for slow loading of your website in China

Without the ability to host AEM content directly in China, businesses typically experience slow website loading times and connectivity disruptions for customers based in China.

That translates to poor customer experience and challenges in growing revenue within the Chinese market.

Leverage StreamX's unique architecture to deliver relevant content to Chinese users

Because StreamX pushes content changes in real-time into the globally distributed data layer – as opposed to fetching content periodically, as a traditional CDN would do – businesses enjoy the ability to deliver dynamic content across the globe with virtually no syncing delays.

THE SOLUTION

What StreamX does differently

Great Firewall of China (GFW)

how it works

StreamX bypasses GFW slowdowns by streaming content updates from CMS and PIM and other source systems, processing them instantly, and delivering pre-generated experiences for optimal performance without blocked or slow external resources.

why it matters

By pre-processing content and delivering it efficiently, StreamX minimizes dependency on international services, bypasses GFW-induced slowdowns, and ensures seamless, fast-loading experiences for users in China.


Hosting

how it works

Instead of hosting AEM in China, StreamX enables a hybrid approach with local web servers for pre-generated content and tailored services like search, ensuring fast, localized experiences while keeping core infrastructure abroad.

why it matters

StreamX ensures China-ready performance without full migration, reducing latency, boosting speed, and enhancing compliance while maintaining global flexibility for a seamless user experience.


Website optimization

how it works

StreamX pre-generates content from source systems, creating lightweight HTML files, optimizing images, and minimizing resource resolution. All services run with a local store, removing the need for long-distance resource fetching.

why it matters

This approach ensures faster load times, reduced latency, and a smoother user experience in China, leading to better engagement, improved SEO, and higher conversion rates.

HOW IT WORKS

Real-time backend orchestration

Instead of relying on a request-reply model, which can suffer from timeouts and slow responses on China's often unpredictable network connections, StreamX uses a push-based approach. By processing updates as soon as changes occur and delivering pre-generated content in advance, StreamX ensures a fast, reliable experience even when network conditions are unstable. This reduces dependency on real-time data fetching, minimizing delays caused by cross-border latency or connectivity disruptions.


  • Real-time processing

  • Real-time delivery

  • Horizontal scalability

  • Unified Data Layer

  • Instead of relying on the user's browser to fetch and assemble data from distant backend systems, StreamX acts as a middle layer, processing updates instantly when changes occur. This reduces latency, avoids slow cross-border data requests, and ensures optimized performance for users in China.

  • StreamX generates experiences ahead of demand and distributes them to lightweight servers within or near China, ensuring rapid delivery and bypassing the latency caused by fetching data from overseas. This approach minimizes delays from the Great Firewall and long-distance routing, providing users with a fast and seamless experience.

  • StreamX is built on a microservices architecture, allowing it to scale horizontally to handle growing traffic and data demands in China. Individual services can be scaled independently, ensuring high performance even under heavy load. This architecture minimizes latency and optimizes content delivery, overcoming slowdowns caused by the Great Firewall and cross-border data restrictions.

  • StreamX aggregates data from multiple sources, such as AEM, PIM, or Google Docs, and transforms it into a consistent, readily consumable format. This streamlines content delivery for websites targeting China, eliminating the need to fetch data from multiple backend systems in real time. By reducing dependencies on slow or blocked external services, StreamX ensures faster load times and a seamless user experience.
