Query Cloud CMS provides SQL-like, structured query for all of your content. The platform uses MongoDB under the hood to store the JSON for your content. MongoDB offers a powerful, unmatched query engine so that you can execute complex lookups of your content to support both your editorial and runtime application needs.

Return On Investment (ROI) with Cloud CMS

ROI and Content Management Systems (CMS) are rarely used in the same sentence due to the uncomfortable pricing models from all legacy CMS vendors - as well as the spiraling costs of implementing them. Often so much investment has been made in the CMS that changing is not a realistic consideration. This negativity only increases when you start using the term Enterprise Content Management (ECM), where suddenly vendors start seeing dollar signs, but offer no additional functionality e.g., Alfresco,

Scripts Scripts are content nodes with a default attachment of type application/javascript. As with all behaviors, script nodes must implement the f:behavior feature.

Usage Alpaca is packaged up as a function that you call to render a form on top of a DOM element. The function takes in the target DOM element and a configuration block. It then figures out the schema, options and layout information that is needed and sets about compiling any dynamic templates and assembling any views needed to make things work. And then it renders, executing templates and committing DOM elements to the target. It wires everything up and then fires the postRender callback. At va

Easy apps with Cloud CMS and Node.js

As we continue to enhance Cloud CMS, one of the directions that we’re pushing in is toward the application layer. We intend to offer increasingly more out-of-the-box applications for content authoring, curation and publishing aimed at marketing users. These applications need to be easy-to-use. They need to address the most common cases that our customers are asking for out-of-the-box. However, they also need to be easily extensible so that these same customers can take our apps and quickly custo
