Force.com App Considerations

Force.com App Considerations

Designing applications for the Salesforce platform requires understanding its underlying architecture. In May 2022, I delivered a Salesforce Presentation detailing key architectural considerations for the Force.com platform.

This session focused on structural decisions developers must make when building Salesforce apps. We covered multi-tenancy, platform limits, code design patterns, and cost implications.

Key Takeaways:

  • Multi-Tenant Architecture: Understanding how shared resources affect code execution.
  • Salesforce Governor Limits: Design patterns to avoid CPU time, heap, and query limits.
  • Bulkification: Writing Apex triggers and controllers that handle bulk record updates.
  • Data Volume Design: Designing database schemas that scale to millions of records.
