What's Notable In the XM Cloud Press Release?

The easy highlights for me is the elimination of upgrades, Sitecore Pages & Sitecore Component Builder. Removing the need for upgrades is an incredible advantage. The new UX that Sitecore Pages is providing will be amazing for content authors. And the Sitecore Component Builder will be an incredible piece of technology that will allow us to develop new components for Sitecore in cloud. To my knowledge, the Component Builder is the first of its kind in the enterprise SaaS CMS space.
