In the new world of second generation packaging (2GP) capabilities such as Unlocked Packages mean the technical aspects of packaging are no longer a concern only for ISV developers but are now equally applicable to enterprise development. The Salesforce Developer Experience (SFDX) developer guide documentation provides a great reference for those getting started with packaging […]
Salesforce DX introduces an entirely new development paradigm for Salesforce; Source Driven development, Scratch Orgs, Unlocked packages – there’s a lot of new concepts, capabilities and tools to consider when designing a modern, collaborative development process. This post outlines a Developer Workflow that combines the Salesforce CLI and Git version control system as one basic […]
For the first time (in memory) this lightweight edition of the platform highlights series refers to the current Salesforce release (v43.0) not the next in line. As such there’s no need to cover release dates, pre-release access, release notes links etc. instead I’ll make a quick mention of the Summer ’18 certification maintenance changes. Previously […]
I’ve been fortunate to have worked as a consultant Salesforce architect for the last decade, during this time I’ve encountered an interesting variety of approaches to Agile in the Salesforce space – most of which fitting with the hybrid model unfortunately – what has been noticeably absent is the application of agile engineering practices. Test […]
A quick video post providing a demonstration of the interactive Apex Debugger. The context of the demonstration is an ISV partner debugging a packaged code issue in a subscriber (customer) org.
Spring is once again upon us (in Salesforce release terms at least) this year we have a nice logo featuring the trailhead character Codey the bear practising the Japanese art form of Bonsai (I think). This post briefly outlines selected highlights related to the Force.com platform (in no order of significance). The new release is […]
It’s that time of year again where summer is gently transitioning to autumn and the winter (in salesforce release terms) is on the horizon. Winter is coming – seems familiar as a phrase – starting late September (for instance details refer to http://status.salesforce.com/status). Now more than ever before there’s no excuse not to be fully […]
The Summer Salesforce release is once again upon us, sporting this time a seasonal Seagulls release logo. As someone who lives by the sea I’m no fan of the noisy gull – so this logo isn’t a favourite, I’d have voted for the Sunscreen release logo option personally. That said, the logo animation within Lightning […]
A basic understanding of the selective query concept is fundamental to scalability on the Salesforce platform. Non-selective queries have a significant performance impact on List Views, Reports and SOQL and can often result in Apex Trigger runtime exceptions as below – as the data volume increases over time. [code language=”java”] System.QueryException Cause: null Message: Non-selective […]
Accompanied by a huge (472-page) release notes document, the Spring ’17 release rolls out in early February. For perhaps the first time (to my recognition) a Lightning Experience (LEX) only theme is identifiable across the newly introduced set of features. This isn’t exhaustive but interesting nonetheless as historically any functional disparity typically favoured Salesforce Classic. […]
