Background

This repository tries to demonstrate how we can leverage Adobe Target NodeJS SDK On-Device Decisioning functionality from an Akamai Edge Worker.

Prerequisites

There are a few prerequisites:

• Akamai credentials
• Akamai CLI
• Akamai CLI with Edge Workers plugin enabled
• Akamai contract with Edge Workers enabled. You'll need Ion or similar product, please check Akamai documentation

Akamai Credentials

In order to use Akamai CLI we need credentials, using Akamai IAM we should create a so called "API Client". Once the API Client is created we can download the credentials and add them to .edgerc file in our user home directory.

To make sure we can use the credentials from .edgerc we will have to pass the "section" as a parameter. If we have an .edgerc with a section named [default], then when using Akamai CLI we will have to invoke any command using this:

$ akamai --secion=default ....

Tools setup

We will need to instal Akamai CLI, on Mac OS X this can be done using Homebrew, like this:

$ brew install akamai

We will need to add Edge Workers support to Akamai CLI. This can be done by running:

$ akamai install edgeworkers

Development

In order to automate the Akamai provisioning for Akamai EdgeWorkers we will be using Terraform. To make it easier to navigate the repository, the code is split in:

• terraform - this folder contains all the Terraform scripts required to provision resources like edge host name, property, etc
• script - this folder contains the source code for Akamai EdgeWorker plus all the build and bundling logic.
