Adobe Reference Architecture

Overview

Production-ready architecture patterns for Adobe API integrations, designed around the three main API families: Firefly Services (creative AI), PDF Services (document automation), and I/O Events (event-driven).

Prerequisites

• Understanding of layered architecture
• TypeScript project setup
• Decision on which Adobe APIs to integrate
