SITECORE CMS: PUBLISHING SERVICE WITH SITECORE 9.2

Sitecore publishing service (SPS) 1.1 has been launched with Sitecore 8.2, it is an optional replacement of existing Sitecore publishing. Sitecore publishing service module reduces the time spend on publishing large volumes of items also improves the user experience.

SPS runs outside of the Content Management worker process as it SPS runs separate services and move data from master to web database.

When Content Editor does any changes, the CM server sends a signal to SPS that what changes had been done, then SPS will calculate a manifest of what needs to be published. After publishing, SPS will send the signal to CM servers that what has been written so that they can update search indexes and clear the affected cache, etc.

The module has 2 parts.
