Introduction to Stack9 Experience

Stack9 Experience is the Digital Experience Platform (DXP) layer that provides pre-integrated marketing, content, and AI capabilities accessible via REST APIs. Built on MACH architecture principles, it delivers enterprise-grade DXP functionality with the flexibility of a composable platform.

What is Stack9 Experience?

Stack9 Experience transforms how organizations build digital experiences by providing ready-to-use DXP capabilities that would traditionally take months to develop and integrate. Instead of assembling multiple vendors or building from scratch, you get a unified API-first platform that handles:

  • Content management with headless CMS capabilities
  • Marketing automation with journey orchestration
  • Customer data platform with unified profiles
  • Email communications with deliverability optimization
  • AI-powered personalization with semantic search
  • Real-time analytics with comprehensive reporting
  • Multi-tenant architecture ready for enterprise scale

How Stack9 Experience Complements Stack9 Core

MACH Architecture Principles

Stack9 Experience is built on modern MACH architecture:

  • 🔧 Microservices - Each capability operates as an independent service
  • 🔌 API-first - All functionality exposed through well-defined REST APIs
  • ☁️ Cloud-native - Built for AWS with modern scaling capabilities
  • 🎯 Headless - Frontend completely decoupled from backend systems

This architecture delivers the speed of a packaged solution with the flexibility of a composable platform.

Multi-tenant by Design

Every aspect of Stack9 Experience is designed for multi-tenancy from the ground up:

  • Isolated tenant configurations - Complete data separation
  • Per-tenant resource provisioning - OpenSearch indices, webhooks, and storage
  • Tenant-specific bootstrapping - Automated setup and configuration
  • Independent scaling - Each tenant scales based on usage

This enables enterprise organizations to support multiple brands, divisions, or customers from a single platform while maintaining complete isolation and control.

API-First Architecture

Stack9 Experience delivers every capability through comprehensive REST APIs:

  • OpenAPI 3.0 specification - Complete API documentation
  • Consistent patterns - RESTful design with predictable endpoints
  • JSON request/response - Modern, developer-friendly format
  • Multi-tenant aware - All endpoints support tenant isolation
  • Version tracking - Built-in entity versioning for audit trails

API Reference: The complete Stack9 Experience API includes 100+ endpoints across admin, content, marketing, email, AI, and analytics capabilities as documented in the OpenAPI specification.
