Answers to your questions

What is Arc for Optimizely?

Arc gives you complete platform operations for headless from day one. It’s a fully managed solution that runs inside your Azure. Whether you're going fully headless, running hybrid, or modernizing one site at a time, Arc gives you the control and flexibility you need.

It includes everything required to run a high-performing headless environment: a front-end host, automated deployments, integrated DevOps pipelines, API management, security, scaling, monitoring, and caching. All of it is optimized for enterprise performance and compliance.

From day one, Arc simplifies operations and accelerates delivery so your team can focus on building great digital experiences instead of managing infrastructure.

What products are compatible with Dataweavers Arc for Optimizely?

Arc seamlessly integrates with the Optimizely ecosystem, supporting and is purpose-built to support Optimizely headless through Graph, on PaaS CMS or SaaS CMS.

How is Dataweavers Arc for Optimizely different from Vercel or Netlify?

Platforms like Vercel and Netlify are excellent Front-end-as-a-Service” (FEaaS) providers for front-end applications and standard function execution. But a rendering host alone isn’t enough when you move into enterprise headless, where backend-for-frontend APIs, experience APIs, integration/data services, DevOps pipelines, security, observability and governance all come into play.

Arc is built for this next level. Delivered in your Azure tenant, it provides complete platform operations: rendering, APIs, integrations, DevOps, monitoring, security, and compliance. With Arc, you don’t just get a hosting layer, you get the full operating model and end-to-end support required to scale from simple sites to complex, multi-channel digital experiences.

Key advantages include:

  • End-to-End Management: 24/7 monitoring, automated scaling, proactive resolution, and continuous security updates.
  • Enterprise DevOps: Deployment pipelines and monitoring across both the front end and CMS back end, always in sync.
  • Compliance by Design: Operating entirely within your Azure tenant ensures data residency, governance, and regulatory alignment.

In short, Arc ensures you’re not relying on a rendering host alone, but on a complete, enterprise-ready foundation with full platform operations and support.

Already invested in an FEaaS solution or set on it (Vercel, Netlify) - Let’s talk about how Arc can still provide the rest.
