Logback in AEM: Deprecated — But Not Always Your Problem
In real projects—both AEM On-Premise and AEM as a Cloud Service—deprecated warnings like Logback show up frequently.
Check your AEM SDK version and use the following URL to view the deprecated API list:
https://javadoc.io/doc/com.adobe.aem/aem-sdk-api/<AEM SDK Version>/deprecated-list.htmlReport highlights deprecated APIs:

Three things stand out:
ch.qos.logbackis marked as deprecated- It is flagged for removal
- Several APIs are unsupported in AEM as a Cloud Service
From these points, the next step is:
- Replace the library
- Upgrade dependencies
- Fix the issue immediately
Taking immediate action is often wrong. More factors matter.
Is this warning actually coming from your code — or from the platform itself?
