They also asked about my experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), including components, templates, workflows, and integrations. 2.

Topics included: Creating custom components using HTL and Sling Models Servlet implementation and filters AEM as a Cloud Service differences. Maven build structure and deployment process. 4.
