Which Sitecore deployment is typically used for lower traffic scenarios?

Sitecore XM0 is designed specifically for lower traffic scenarios, making it a suitable choice for environments that do not require the full capabilities of the more advanced deployment options. This deployment variant provides essential features needed for managing content without the overhead of additional resources that higher tiers often require.

In an XM0 deployment, you get a simplified architecture that does not include the integrated capabilities for personalization and analytics that are inherent in offerings like XP1 and XP0. This makes it ideal for projects that focus primarily on delivering straightforward content experiences without the complexities of high-traffic handling or the need for extensive feature sets.

When considering resource allocation, environments with lower traffic can effectively utilize XM0 to function efficiently, keeping operational costs lower while still meeting the primary content delivery needs. This is particularly advantageous for smaller projects or those in the early stages where traffic might not justify the deployment of more robust infrastructures.

In contrast, the other options tend to cater to more complex requirements with increased traffic or the need for advanced personalization and marketing features, which can be overkill for simpler projects. Thus, XM0 stands out as the appropriate choice for lower traffic scenarios.
