Book Description

Salesforce Anti-Patterns teaches you how to spot errors in the Salesforce pattern that can seem like a good idea at the time but will end up costing you dearly. The book will enable Salesforce architects and developers to understand how great Salesforce architectures can be created by studying the anti-patterns and solutions to problems that seem like a good idea but inevitably lead to serious problems that are commonly found in Salesforce implementations. While there are several books on the market that start from the question, "How do I create a great Salesforce architecture?" and proceed to a solution from there, this book will instead start from the question "What tends to go wrong with Salesforce architectures?" and proceed to a solution from there.

This book will teach you how to identify and mitigate anti-patterns in the technical domains of system architecture, data architecture, and security architecture along with the anti-patterns in the functional domain of solution architecture as well as for integration architecture. You will learn about common anti-patterns affecting your development process and governance and, finally, spot common problems in how architects communicate their solutions.

By the end of this book, you will have gained new confidence in your ability to architect and communicate solutions on the Salesforce platform while avoiding the common mistakes that affect many solutions.

What you will learn

Create a balanced system architecture by identifying common mistakes around on and off-platform functionality, and interfaces into other areas like reporting or mobile
Steps to avoid security problems that arise from anti-patterns on the Salesforce platform
Diagnose common data architecture issues and discover how some intuitive ways to address them can lead to disaster
Avoid the dual traps of over-and-under customization in your Salesforce solution architecture.
Common ways to avoid during architect integrations that can lead to issues over time
Common errors in deployment setups, test strategy, and architecture governance and how to overcome them.
Understand why bad communication patterns are some of the most overlooked in architecture

Who This Book Is For

Salesforce architects, aspiring architects, developers, consultants, and decision-makers interested in making the right architectural choices or preparing for the journey to CTA. They need a professional understanding of Salesforce and its building blocks. The book will not be code-centric, so that knowledge can come from both functional and technical experience, but some level of platform understanding is required.
