Where is the majority of content for an Adobe Experience Manager website stored?

The majority of content for an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) website is stored in a Java Content Repository (JCR). The JCR serves as a standardized method for accessing content in AEM, allowing for efficient storage, retrieval, and management of digital assets and content. This repository structure, consistent with the JCR API, supports hierarchical content organization, making it well-suited for managing the complexity often found in web content.

JCR allows AEM to handle various content types seamlessly, including pages, assets, and configuration data. Furthermore, AEM leverages the capabilities of JCR to support versioning, access control, and collaborative authoring, which are essential for maintaining a dynamic and scalable content management environment.

While Apache Sling is an integral part of AEM that enables the handling of resource resolution and serving content, it does not store the content itself; rather, it acts as a framework that interacts with the JCR to deliver that content appropriately. Adobe Analytics focuses on tracking and analyzing user interactions with the website, and while databases can be used for specific applications, they do not serve as the primary storage for AEM content. Thus, the JCR stands out as the core repository where the majority of the content is systematically stored in A
