Episode Notes

What this episode covers.

Once you understand OSGi, the next question is:
What actually does the work behind the scenes in AEM?

That’s where Services come in.

In this video, I explain AEM Services in simple terms:
• What a service represents in AEM
• How services encapsulate reusable backend logic
• Why services are separated from components and templates
• How services help keep large AEM systems maintainable

Services are not tied to pages or UI.
They quietly perform tasks like processing content, integrating systems, and supporting workflows.

Understanding services helps you see how AEM handles complex logic without turning pages and components into a mess.
