Search in 2026 works the same way. There are no shortcuts.

In this post, we'll explore how to evolve from a basic HTTP client to a sophisticated, production-ready implementation with proper authentication, error handling, and maintainability. We will use a real-world example of a Customer Management API (CMA) service client to demonstrate each evolution step, showing how each improvement adds value and addresses specific challenges. In the real world I would recommend naming the client by a descriptive name, CustomerManagementHttpClient, but to save horizontal space in this blog post, we'll simply refer to it as CmaHttpClient.

The appeal is clear: resources are allocated, timelines are set, and a tangible result is expected. However, this approach is often a significant misstep. Forward-leaning companies have learned that a "product" mindset is far superior.

As a senior solution architect working with Optimizely DXP, I've noticed a growing trend: bot traffic is steadily increasing across many client sites. These automated requests often target irrelevant or non-existent paths - like WordPress folders or .php files - and while they may seem harmless, they can trigger full 404 pages, consume unnecessary server resources, and in some cases, even count as page views.

In recent years AI has swept in like a revolution, promising UX gold and efficiency gains, leading many to ask whether UX designers will be replaced and passed to history. The answer is a little more complex than a simple yes or no, and perhaps also more hopeful.
