Overview of this book

Salesforce makes architecting enterprise grade applications easy and secure – but you'll need guidance to leverage its full capabilities and deliver top-notch products for your customers. This fourth edition brings practical guidance to the table, taking you on a journey through building and shipping enterprise-grade apps.

You'll also get to grips with Apex and fflib, create scalable services with Java, Node.js, and other languages using Salesforce Functions and Heroku, and find new ways to test Lightning UIs. These key topics, alongside a new chapter on exploring asynchronous processing features, are unique to this edition.
