Integration Patterns I Use
| Pattern | Use Case | Implementation |
|---|
| Real-time Sync | Immediate updates needed | Apex callouts, Platform Events |
| Batch Sync | Large data volumes | Scheduled Apex, Batch Apex |
| Event-Driven | Loose coupling | Platform Events, Change Data Capture |
| Middleware | Complex transformations | External services (Python/Java) |
| Hybrid | Best of both worlds | Real-time for critical, batch for bulk |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Salesforce development?
Salesforce development involves customizing the Salesforce platform: Apex code, Lightning components, integrations, Flows, and custom applications. It extends Salesforce beyond out-of-the-box functionality for specific business needs.
How much does Salesforce development cost?
Salesforce development typically costs $120-180 per hour. Custom development projects start around $15,000-30,000, while complex integrations and custom applications range from $50,000-200,000+. Salesforce licensing is separate.
Apex vs Flows, when should I use each?
Use Flows for: user-triggered automation, simple logic, admin-maintainable processes. Use Apex for: complex business logic, integrations, bulk processing, or when Flows hit limits. Many solutions combine both.
Can you integrate Salesforce with external systems?
Yes. I build integrations using: REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, Change Data Capture, and middleware (MuleSoft, custom). Common integrations include: ERP systems, marketing platforms, custom databases, and billing systems.
Do you work with Salesforce Lightning?
Yes. I build Lightning Web Components (LWC) for custom UI, customize Lightning pages, and migrate from Classic to Lightning. LWC is the modern standard for Salesforce frontend development.
