Smartphones are now as powerful as desktop workstations, and the fact that you can constantly use them to get a quick burst of satisfaction is very convenient. But while Wearables, POS terminals, and connected devices have all evolved into “shortcuts” for you they are significant revenue-generating and communication channels for many businesses.
Getting in touch with Marketing, Business Intelligence, Demand Generation, and the web team can help you spot trends that, if ignored, could have adversely negative effects on your organisation, whether you’re a developer, website manager, or someone in charge of coordinating the success of the entire company’s digital presence. Well to make this task easier we have new add-on by Sitefinity. In this article, we will determine whether you should implement this add-on in Sitefinity or wait for it to mature.
What is .NET Core?
A modernization of the ASP.NET framework with a focus on performance, ASP.NET Core is a new version of the framework that is now free, open source, and cross-platform.
What is the.NET core renderer for Sitefinity?
Sitefinity is switching from a two-tier to a three-tier architecture with the.net core renderer. This is accomplished by giving the website’s frontend its own rendering app. It offers a fantastic combination of tools and platform features that can speed up your growth while giving you even more opportunities to experiment and expand.
Understanding the intricate user journey, the unique requirements of your consumers for tailored, always-on access to information, the expanding number of touchpoints, and the plethora of business systems that must operate in unison are all part of the functionality.
At its core, Sitefinity offers a strong platform for creating wonderful user experiences, combining usability with the extensive customizability and scalability businesses have come to demand. Sitefinity easily surpasses other reputable vendors, and it offers unparalleled value that is certain to keep your balance sheet healthy.
Consider.NET Core and Sitefinity Cloud as catalysts that will enable enterprises of all sizes to realise their full potential and free up additional resources to foster economic expansion.
What are the benefits of this architecture?
Fast Launches and Restarts
Deploying code changes and restarting the Sitefinity CMS can be a slow affair and developers may have to wait 30 to 40 seconds each time they deploy code changes or restart the Sitefinity CMS. Changes to the .net core render that don’t need a change to the CMS instance will restart in a matter of seconds. This has a significant impact on deployment downtime and development speed.
Fostering creativity
System integrators and digital agencies can truly concentrate on what they do best which is creating jaw-dropping digital experiences and adding immense value by outsourcing the infrastructure and maintenance.
Dynamic development
Any IDE or OS that supports the multi-platform ASP.NET core can be used by developers. This lends a healthy dose of versatility to the developers.
Greater dependability
Separating website and administration improves system security and dependability while lowering the chance of a single point of failure. Faster speed to market is ensured and the chance of damaging crucial backend infrastructure is reduced when frontend and backend development are separated.
Simple upgrades
The Sitefinity CMS should largely be left alone since all customizations are made in the asp.net render app. This would reduce the possibility of problems developing from the implementation of bespoke code.
Reusability of Code
You can have your collection of widgets in one renderer app that can be inserted into any Sitefinity CMS and themed to fit the following site because the frontend and CMS are separated.
Will it function in existing projects?
Yes, you can add the renderer to existing projects provided it has been configured properly. You can create new pages using the new.net core page editor or you can use the current Sitefinity CMS page editor because the renderer functions as a proxy to the existing Sitefinity CMS if an older page is requested on the new.net core frontend. Only pages accessed via the.net core renderer can be seen after being produced with it.
Introduction to NET Core Frontend:
NET Core Frontend, an add-on that is available with all Sitefinity Cloud tiers, was created from the ground up to assist you in accelerating time to market, streamlining management, and creating cross-platform experiences beyond just websites. You may also be able to alter the front end of the website more quickly because of the.NET Core renderer’s independence from the standard Sitefinity app.
Conclusion
The simplicity of use and the increased possibilities for content delivery to several channels will be valued by marketing. On the other hand, developers now have a wide range of tools at their disposal to create adaptive and responsive front-end experiences with the technology of their choosing.
A lack of flexibility with layout grid widgets and a lack of template inheritance is the teething system limitations at the moment. Both of these are essential to how we create websites, yet they are currently absent. We are aware that Sitefinity is currently working on these and a number of other new projects.
In conclusion, we think that Sitefinity’s new add-on will improve things, but as it is still in its infancy, it is advisable to keep an eye on it for the time being rather than incorporate it into the next project right away.
