@@emc Thanks a lot!

Why are we eliminating the WebSDK/MobileSDK (alloy)? A lot of us are migrating from connector to SDK, and now we have another approach. Are we deprecating the SDK?

[@emc]

Hi Chetanya, the Web SDK and Mobile SDK aren't deprecated in any way. Web SDK and Mobile SDK provide a streamlined client-side data collection method, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Many brands however are looking into server-side data collection methods, and the Edge Network Server API meets those needs. As such, Edge Network Server API doesn't replace Web SDK or Mobile SDK, it's an additional method and gives organisations an additional option to choose from.

@@emc ​ @emc Will you be able to share the use cases or scenarios when to go with Adobe WebSDK (client side data collection ) vs Adobe EdgeNetwork Server API(server side data collection) and vice versa? This will help to decide which way to go for any new implementation. If Server side implementation is future proof why would some one go for client side webSDK? Any benefit going with WebSDK? Is the ease of implementation in data collection using a client side implementation is the only benefit of WebSDK/MobileSDK? In the Demo you used ECID as a Linked Identity, can the FPID also be sent to Real time customer profile so that we also see this mapping in the RTCDP platform? Could you please shed some light here?

[@prashantchillara]

Hi Wouter, is there a swagger kind of file for Edge Network Server API that can be used?

[@emc]

Hi @prashantchillara, I'm not aware of an existing swagger file, but you can find a sample request here (this is the postman request I used in the Tech Academy session): github.com/woutervangeluwe/edgeapi/tree/main/postman

[@ryno7935]

Is the code from these examples publicly available?
