The server-side component creation tutorial covers the creation, configuring, and deployment of server components. They do not cover the creation, configuring and deployment of Components at Edge. Components at Edge are a Squiz DXP Component Service runtime implementation. They are the preferred approach to component development going forward. A tutorial that covers the creation, configuring, and deployment of a basic Component at Edge is available as the Create a component tutorial. |
