As explained in the introduction of this series implementing a custom Catalog is not only overriding / replacing the `CatalogContentProvider`. In this chapter we are dive deeper into the the realted classes which do need some attention.
External Catalog – Chapter 1: The Catalog Content Provider
When you have written a content provider before you are aware that you have to have to point it to a location where to ‘start’ from. For a `CatalogContentProvider` we have to add some code to support this way of working as well. In this chapter we dive deeper into whats needed for this.

The “container” practice
Containers seems to be a nice solutions, but it doesn’t always feel right to use this practice. I am going to share the considerations of using a container and share other features which maybe fits a “container use-case” better.
Cleanup blob storage
Sometimes I see blobstorages growing at customers side. It can be the result of a job, or because the storage is used by a couple of developers or because Develop and Test are using the same storage. For all these cases I have created this small script. Which does easily create a clean new container for you.
Unmapped? ContentProviders
The CMS is not the only place where content is served from. A modern website does present content from different sources like; Video platforms, DAM systems, PIM systems or even other “content networks”. We do consult on a couple of integrations where we have the need to deliver from these kind of sources. Content Providers to the rescue. In this post I am going to share some challenges we have experienced down the road, especially in relation to the IdentityMappingService.
