Scaling Sitecore xConnect


xConnect came up with the variety of new services that can be scaled out to provide a higher-performant architecture for interacting with xDB.

xConnect consists of the following components:

  • Collection service

  • Search service

  • Search Indexer

  • Collection databases


Along with xConnect are a variety of XP services which together with xConnect make up what we call the Experience Platform Foundation (XPF). These include:

  • Processing

  • Marketing Automation

  • Reporting

  • Reference Data


Almost all of these services can be scaled horizontally, but it should be noted that the Reporting instance and the xConnect Search Indexer currently only support a single instance running at a time.

GDPR en PII compliance


xConnect provides the functionality around security to be GDPR (Execute right to be forgotten)and built-in PII compliant. So we will be able to define what fields in xDB contain personal identifiable information, and therefore we can let xConnect know what fields to encrypt.

As we know that we can define our own model based on business and also we can make that model fields encrypt.This can achieved my marking the field with PII.

  • If a facet is marked [PIISensitive], the entire facet is deleted

  • If a facet property is marked [PIISensitive], that property is reset to its default value

Sitecore Media Library

Sitecore Media Library Controlling File Upload and Deny Execute Permissions on the Upload Folder You can strengthen the sitecore installation by restricting the access to the files that are begin uploaded by users. If you allow users to modify the content of /upload in website root folder then you also give them permission to place the scripts and executable programs. Executing these scripts and programs can cause an unexpected behavior on the server. You must therefore prevent an uploaded file from being executed on the server side when a user attempts to download it. We recommend that you deny permissions to run scripts and executable files in the /upload folder Note: You only need to perform this step if your configuration allows content authors to place files directly to the /upload folder. For example, if you use a shared directory or FTP server, content authors can quickly place a lot of media in the media library. Denying Execute Permission in IIS yo...
