Deploy to AEM

Manage at scale.
From Stardust to AEM.

Stardust generates clean, deployable static HTML. stardust:deploy turns it into a full AEM Edge Delivery experience — authorable, edge-served globally, optimized for performance and AI brand visibility.

A site's existing landing page — warm but unmemorable.
The same site, redesigned by Stardust, served by AEM Edge Delivery.

Web publishing changed under us.

From assembling pages out of shared parts → to generating unique pages that share the same rules.

The old deal

Reuse everything. Build nothing new.

Implementation partners shipped a library — Hero, Card Grid, Accordion, Tabs — and marketers composed pages from the shelf. Sites got fast by getting boring. It worked.

What broke it

The cost of uniqueness collapsed.

AI tools now generate bespoke, production-quality HTML — scroll-driven motion, cinematic transitions, three-week designs in an hour — from a prompt and a brand surface. Designers know how to drive them.

Now

The library was a workaround.

Every page can be its own page again — provided the brand keeps the rules. The library's job moves up a level: from shape to guardrails.

More than a renderer. An experience system.

AEM Edge Delivery serves static HTML at top-decile performance — but the deeper value is what comes with it: an experience platform for managing every market, every language, every campaign, while keeping the brand control non-negotiable. Stardust generates the artifact; AEM is where that artifact lives at scale.

Manage at scale

Every market, every campaign, one surface.

Authors edit in-place with Universal Editor. Drafts, scheduling, translations, A/B variants, market overrides — all in one place. Roll the same Stardust artifact across regions, products, and seasons without rebuilds.

Brand visibility

Optimized for the AI-facing web.

LLMs synthesize brands from what they can read. Edge Delivery's clean, semantic, structured markup — exactly what Stardust outputs — is what Google AI Mode, Claude, and ChatGPT extract correctly. Your brand survives the synth as you mean it.

Performance, by construction

Top-decile Core Web Vitals.

100/100 Lighthouse scores aren't aspirational on Edge Delivery — they're the default. Static HTML, edge-cached globally, no client-side framework rehydration. SEO and search ranking follow.

Meet stardust:deploy.
From static HTML to a live AEM experience.

stardust:deploy is the open-source converter that turns a Stardust page into an AEM Edge Delivery experience. Each prototype section becomes one independent EDS block: the section's CSS becomes that block's scoped stylesheet, and its text and images become authorable content. Header and footer drop into static repository fragments, and the page ships as a content fragment to AEM.

Generate

stardust:uplift

From a live URL: capture the brand and generate the redesign as deployable, polished static HTML.

Convert

stardust:deploy

Turn each section into an authorable EDS block; per-section CSS becomes block CSS. Content stays editable by authors.

Publish

AEM Edge Delivery

File-based, edge-served. 100/100 Core Web Vitals, Universal Editor wired, AI-friendly markup.

· Every section becomes an authorable block · The design is reproduced faithfully ·

Two commands. No development in between.

From a live URL to a working AEM Edge Delivery experience. Stardust generates the redesign; stardust:deploy converts it into authorable EDS blocks and ships them to AEM.
  1. Generate the redesign. /stardust:uplift <URL> — Stardust crawls the live site, captures the brand surface, and generates three differentiated variants in one run. Approve the one that fits.
  2. Convert and ship to AEM. /stardust:deploy — stardust:deploy turns the chosen variant into EDS blocks and content pages and pushes them into your AEM Edge Delivery project. Run /stardust:diff to confirm the build matches the prototype, then publish.
