Official docs: Nuxt Documentation
Adobe's enterprise content management platform. Global enterprises in the Adobe ecosystem needing DAM integration, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.
Most expensive CMS on the market ($250K+/year)
This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Adobe AEM. Nuxt eliminates this issue entirely.
Requires specialized AEM developers (Java/OSGi expertise)
With Nuxt, auto-imports and file-based routing reduce boilerplate.
Extremely complex architecture and steep learning curve
Modern architectures like Nuxt are designed to avoid this from the ground up.
Over-engineered for anything below Fortune 1000 scale
After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Nuxt takes a fundamentally different approach.
Vue.js framework for SSR, SSG, and full-stack apps. Built with JavaScript/TypeScript (Vue.js), it's vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.
Auto-imports and file-based routing reduce boilerplate
Hybrid rendering — SSR, SSG, ISR, and SWR per route
Nuxt Content module for Git-based Markdown content
Large Vue.js ecosystem and module library
Nuxt is open-source and free to use. You own your code and data with no vendor lock-in. Deploy to any host that supports JavaScript/TypeScript, or use managed platforms like Vercel and Netlify for zero-config deployments.

A detailed breakdown of how your Adobe AEM content maps to Nuxt
What may need manual attention
Custom server-side logic, third-party integrations, and platform-specific plugins will need equivalent solutions in Nuxt. The core content (text, images, metadata) transfers cleanly.
Migrate your content in three simple steps
Enter your Adobe AEM site URL — LeaveWP connects automatically.
Select Nuxt as destination and choose content options.
Download your migrated content or preview it in your browser.
Migrating from Adobe AEM to Nuxt makes the most sense if you're experiencing most expensive cms on the market ($250k+/year) or outgrowing Adobe AEM's architecture. Nuxt is best for vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.
You should migrate if: your Adobe AEM site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need developer flexibility, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.
You might want to stay if: your Adobe AEM site benefits from deep integration with the entire adobe creative cloud suite and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team.
The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Adobe AEM URL, select Nuxt, and download your content. The more important question is whether Nuxt's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.
