Modern integrations aren’t just about connecting systems anymore — they’re about moving data and events reliably across multiple clouds and environments.The secret? A few tried-and-true middleware patterns (like pub/sub, request–reply, sagas, and streaming) combined with smart error routing strategies (retries, DLQs, compensations). Here’s a practical, field-tested guide to understanding these...
Salesforce webhooks are at the heart of modern, two-way integrations between Salesforce and external systems. Instead of simple one-way data syncs, your org can now have real-time conversations: external services notify Salesforce instantly, and Salesforce can call back out to complete the loop. Inbound: External apps send events into Salesforce...
OAuth 2.0 isn’t a single mechanism — it’s a toolbox of flows, each designed for different application types and security needs. The right choice depends on where your app runs and what secrets it can safely store. Here’s a clear, practical guide to the four most common flows you’ll encounter:Authorization...
Salesforce offers a variety of API styles because no two integration scenarios are the same. Some systems need instant, real-time updates. Others deal with huge data volumes. Some workflows demand multi-step transactions, while certain UIs just need a few precisely nested fields.This guide walks you through the main Salesforce API...
When Salesforce consumes external events (for example, Platform Events published by another system), your integration logic must be resilient. Failures will happen — networks time out, APIs throttle, or payloads contain invalid data. A robust event consumer does two key things: It retries transient errors safely without looping forever. It...
Salesforce provides two powerful ways to move events in and out of the Event Bus — the modern Pub/Sub API and the Streaming API family (CometD/EMP). Both deliver events with at-least-once semantics and support replay, but they differ in transport protocols, performance, payload formats, and operational fit. Understanding these differences...
Salesforce offers two major ways to stream events across systems — Platform Events (PE) and Change Data Capture (CDC).Both use the Salesforce Event Bus with replay support, but they exist for different reasons. In short: Platform Events are custom, intentional messages you define to represent business actions or commands. Change...
