---

## §5 · Development Practices

### §5.1 · Declarative-First Development

**The Salesforce Way:**
```
Prefer:
1. Flow (Record-Triggered, Screen, Autolaunched)
2. Validation Rules & Formula Fields
3. Approval Processes
4. Custom Metadata Types
5. Apex (when declarative insufficient)
```

**Governor Limits (Multi-Tenant Protection):**
| Resource | Synchronous | Asynchronous |
|----------|-------------|--------------|
| SOQL Queries | 100 | 200 |
| DML Statements | 150 | 150 |
| CPU Time | 10,000 ms | 60,000 ms |
| Heap Size | 6 MB | 12 MB |
| Callouts | 100 | 100 |

### §5.2 · CI/CD for Salesforce

**Salesforce DX (Developer Experience):**
```bash
# Authenticate to Dev Hub
sf auth login devhub --setdefaultdevhubusername

# Create scratch org
sf org create scratch --definition-file config/project-scratch-def.json \
    --setalias my-scratch --duration-days 7

# Push source
sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app

# Run tests
sf apex run test --test-level RunLocalTests --code-coverage

# Deploy to production
sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app --target-org production
```

**Deployment Pipeline:**
```
Developer Scratch Org → Integration Sandbox → UAT Sandbox → Production
        ↓                       ↓                    ↓             ↓
    Feature Dev          Automated Tests      UAT Sign-off   Change Set/
    (sfdx push)          (Apex tests)         (Business)     DX Deploy
```

### §5.3 · Testing Strategy

**Apex Testing Requirements:**
- 75% code coverage minimum for deployment
- All triggers must have test coverage
- Test data factory pattern
- `@isTest` annotation for test classes

**Test Class Template:**
```java
@isTest
private class AccountServiceTest {
    @TestSetup
    static void setup() {
        // Create test data once
        insert new Account(Name = 'Test Account');
    }
    
    @isTest
    static void testAccountCreation() {
        // Arrange
        Account acc = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account LIMIT 1];
        
        // Act
        Test.startTest();
        AccountService.createRelatedContact(acc.Id);
        Test.stopTest();
        
        // Assert
        List<Contact> contacts = [SELECT Id FROM Contact WHERE AccountId = :acc.Id];
        System.assertEquals(1, contacts.size(), 'Contact should be created');
    }
}
```

## §6 · Example Scenarios

### §6.1 · CRM Development: Customer 360 Implementation

**Context:** Build a unified customer view integrating Sales, Service, and Marketing data for a Fortune 500 client.

**Salesforce-Engineer Approach:**

**Phase 1: Data Model Design**
```yaml
Customer_360_Data_Model:
  Core_Objects:
    Account: 
      - Standard fields (Name, Industry, AnnualRevenue)
      - Custom: Customer_Score__c, Lifecycle_Stage__c
    Contact:
      - Standard fields (Email, Phone)
      - Custom: Engagement_Score__c, Preferred_Channel__c
    Opportunity:
      - Custom: Lead_Source_Attribution__c
      
  Integration_Objects:
    External_Marketing_Activity__x:  # External object
      - Source: Marketing Cloud
      - Fields: Campaign_ID__c, Engagement_Type__c, Timestamp__c
      
  Custom_Objects:
    Customer_Interaction__c:
      - Lookup: Account__c, Contact__c
      - Picklist: Type (Sales, Service, Marketing)
      - DateTime: Interaction_Date__c
```

**Phase 2: Flow Automation**
```
Flow: Update Customer 360 Score
Trigger: After Update on Account, Contact, Opportunity

Logic:
  1. Get all related interactions (last 90 days)
  2. Calculate weighted score:
     - Sales activity: 40%
     - Service cases: 30% (negative weight for open cases)
     - Marketing engagement: 30%
  3. Update Account.Customer_Score__c
  4. If score > 80, create High-Value Customer task
```

**Phase 3: Lightning Component**
```javascript
// customer360Card.js - Lightning Web Component
import { LightningElement, api, wire } from 'lwc';
import { getRecord } from 'lightning/uiRecordApi';
import getCustomerInsights from '@salesforce/apex/Customer360Controller.getInsights';

const FIELDS = [
    'Account.Name',
    'Account.Customer_Score__c',
    'Account.Lifecycle_Stage__c'
];

export default class Customer360Card extends LightningElement {
    @api recordId;
    insights;
    
    @wire(getRecord, { recordId: '$recordId', fields: FIELDS })
    account;
    
    @wire(getCustomerInsights, { accountId: '$recordId' })
    wiredInsights({ error, data }) {
        if (data) {
            this.insights = {
                recentInteractions: data.interactions,
                opportunityValue: data.totalOppValue,
                healthScore: data.healthScore,
                nextBestAction: data.recommendedAction
            };
        }
    }
    
    get customerHealthColor() {
        const score = this.account?.data?.fields?.Customer_Score__c?.value || 0;
        return score > 80 ? 'green' : score > 50 ? 'yellow' : 'red';
    }
}
```

**Phase 4: Integration Architecture**
```
Marketing Cloud ───► REST API ───► Platform Events ───► Flow ───► Account
Sales Data        ───► Bulk API ───► Custom Object ───► Nightly Batch
Service Cloud     ───► OData ───► External Objects ───► Real-time
```

**Outcome:**
- 360° view reduces data lookup time by 60%
- Einstein Next Best Action increases upsell by 25%
- Customer health scoring enables proactive engagement

        // Query accounts with high churn risk
        List<Account> atRiskAccounts = [
            SELECT Id, Name, Churn_Risk_Score__c
            FROM Account
            WHERE Churn_Risk_Score__c > 0.7
            AND Last_Churn_Outreach__c < LAST_N_DAYS:30
        ];
        
        for (Account acc : atRiskAccounts) {
            // Create retention task
            Task retentionTask = new Task(
                Subject = 'High Churn Risk - Retention Outreach',
                WhatId = acc.Id,
                Priority = 'High',
                Description = 'Einstein predicts 70%+ churn risk. ' +
                             'Schedule executive business review.'
            );
            insert retentionTask;
            
            // Notify CSM via Platform Event
            Churn_Alert__e alert = new Churn_Alert__e(
                Account_Id__c = acc.Id,
                Risk_Score__c = acc.Churn_Risk_Score__c
            );
            EventBus.publish(alert);
        }
    }
}
```

**Phase 5: Action Framework (Next Best Action)**
```
Churn Risk Score → Recommended Action:
  0.0 - 0.3: Standard engagement
  0.3 - 0.6: Proactive check-in
  0.6 - 0.8: Executive business review
  0.8 - 1.0: Immediate retention offer + exec call
```

**Outcome:**
- Model precision: 74% (exceeded target)
- 30% reduction in churn rate
- $6.2M retained revenue in first year

   - Diagnosis_Code__c: Probabilistic

3. Encrypted Field Limitations:
   - Cannot be used in WHERE clause (except deterministic)
   - Cannot be unique or external ID
   - Cannot have default values
```

**Phase 3: Event Monitoring**
```java
// Real-time security event processing
public class SecurityEventHandler {
    
    @future
    public static void processLoginEvents() {
        // Query Event Monitoring logs
        List<LoginEvent> suspiciousLogins = [
            SELECT UserId, LoginTime, SourceIP, Status
            FROM LoginEvent
            WHERE LoginTime = LAST_HOUR
            AND Status = 'Invalid Password'
            GROUP BY UserId, SourceIP
            HAVING COUNT(Id) > 5
        ];
        
        for (LoginEvent event : suspiciousLogins) {
            // Create security alert
            Security_Alert__c alert = new Security_Alert__c(
                Alert_Type__c = 'Potential Brute Force',
                User__c = event.UserId,
                Source_IP__c = event.SourceIP,
                Description__c = 'Multiple failed login attempts detected'
            );
            insert alert;
            
            // Auto-freeze account if threshold exceeded
            if (getFailedAttempts(event.UserId) > 10) {
                freezeUser(event.UserId);
            }
        }
    }
}
```

**Phase 4: Field Audit Trail**
```
Enable Audit Trail for:

        properties:
          name: string
          industry: string
          sourceSystem: string
```

**Phase 3: Salesforce Connect (External Objects)**
```java
// Custom adapter for legacy system integration
public class LegacySystemAdapter extends DataSource.Connection {
    
    override public List<DataSource.Table> sync() {
        List<DataSource.Table> tables = new List<DataSource.Table>();
        
        // Define external object schema
        DataSource.Column nameCol = DataSource.Column.text('Name', 255);
        DataSource.Column legacyIdCol = DataSource.Column.text('Legacy_ID__c', 100);
        
        tables.add(DataSource.Table.get('Legacy_Orders__x', 
            'Legacy Order Records', nameCol, legacyIdCol));
        
        return tables;
    }
    
    override public DataSource.TableResult query(DataSource.QueryContext context) {
        // Translate SOQL to legacy API calls
        String soql = context.tableSelection.columnsSelected;
        
        // Call MuleSoft API
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setEndpoint('callout:MuleSoft/legacy/orders');
        req.setMethod('GET');
        
        HttpResponse res = new Http().send(req);
        
        // Transform response to TableResult
        return DataSource.TableResult.get(context, 
            parseLegacyResponse(res.getBody()));
    }
}
```

**Phase 4: Change Data Capture**
```javascript
// Subscribe to CDC events in external system
import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';
import { subscribe, unsubscribe, onError } from 'lightning/empApi';

export default class CDCSubscriber extends LightningElement {
    subscription = {};
    
    connectedCallback() {
        // Subscribe to Account change events
        const messageCallback = (response) => {
            this.handleChangeEvent(response.data);
        };
        
        subscribe('/data/AccountChangeEvent', -1, messageCallback)
            .then(response => {
                this.subscription = response;
            });
    }
    
    handleChangeEvent(data) {
        // Publish to MuleSoft for downstream sync
        const changeEvent = {
            objectType: 'Account',
            changeType: data.payload.ChangeEventHeader.changeType,
            recordId: data.payload.ChangeEventHeader.recordIds[0],
            changedFields: data.payload.ChangeEventHeader.changedFields,
            timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
        };
        
        // Call MuleSoft API
        this.publishToIntegrationLayer(changeEvent);
    }
}
```

**Phase 5: Error Handling & Monitoring**
```yaml
Integration_Monitoring:
  API_Health:
    - Response time < 500ms (P95)

### §6.5 · Lightning Migration: Visualforce to LWC

**Context:** Migrate a complex Visualforce page with 10,000+ daily users to Lightning Web Components while maintaining feature parity.

**Salesforce-Engineer Approach:**

**Phase 1: Assessment & Planning**
```yaml
Current_State:
  Component: Opportunity_Override.page (Visualforce)
  Users: 10,000+ daily
  Apex_Lines: 2,500
  JavaScript_Lines: 3,000
  
Migration_Strategy:
  Approach: Big Bang (cannot do incremental - override page)
  Timeline: 12 weeks
  Risk_Mitigation: Parallel UAT environment, rollback plan
```

**Phase 2: Component Architecture**
```
opportunityWorkspace (Parent)
├── opportunityHeader
│   ├── opportunityName
│   ├── opportunityStage
│   └── opportunityAmount
├── opportunityProducts (Data Table)
│   ├── productSearch
│   ├── quantityEditor
│   └── discountCalculator
├── opportunityTeam
│   ├── teamMemberList
│   └── addTeamMember
└── opportunityActivityTimeline
    ├── activityFilter
    └── activityItem
```

**Phase 3: Apex Refactoring**
```java
// Before: Monolithic controller
public class OpportunityController {
    public Opportunity opp { get; set; }  // 2,500 lines
}

// After: Service layer pattern
public with sharing class OpportunityService {
    
    @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true)
    public static OpportunityData getOpportunityData(Id oppId) {
        // Validation
        if (!OpportunitySecurity.canAccess(oppId)) {
            throw new SecurityException('Access denied');
        }
        
        return new OpportunityData(
            OpportunityQuery.getById(oppId),
            OpportunityLineItemQuery.getByOpportunity(oppId),
            OpportunityTeamQuery.getByOpportunity(oppId),
            ActivityQuery.getByOpportunity(oppId)
        );
    }
    
    @AuraEnabled
    public static void updateOpportunity(Opportunity opp) {
        // CRUD/FLS checks
        if (!Schema.sObjectType.Opportunity.isUpdateable()) {
            throw new SecurityException('Cannot update Opportunity');
        }
        
        update opp;
        
        // Publish platform event for audit
        AuditEvent.publish('Opportunity', opp.Id, 'Update', UserInfo.getUserId());
    }
}
```

**Phase 4: Lightning Web Component**
```javascript
// opportunityWorkspace.js
import { LightningElement, wire, api } from 'lwc';
import { getRecord, updateRecord } from 'lightning/uiRecordApi';
import { ShowToastEvent } from 'lightning/platformShowToastEvent';
import getOpportunityData from '@salesforce/apex/OpportunityService.getOpportunityData';

import OPPORTUNITY_OBJECT from '@salesforce/schema/Opportunity';
import NAME_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Opportunity.Name';
import STAGE_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Opportunity.StageName';
import AMOUNT_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Opportunity.Amount';

export default class OpportunityWorkspace extends LightningElement {
    @api recordId;
    
    opportunityData;
    isLoading = true;
    
    @wire(getOpportunityData, { oppId: '$recordId' })
    wiredData({ error, data }) {
        if (data) {
            this.opportunityData = data;
            this.isLoading = false;
        } else if (error) {
            this.showError(error);
        }
    }
    
    @wire(getRecord, { 
        recordId: '$recordId', 
        fields: [NAME_FIELD, STAGE_FIELD, AMOUNT_FIELD] 
    })
    opportunity;
    
    handleStageChange(event) {
        const fields = {};
        fields[STAGE_FIELD.fieldApiName] = event.detail.value;
        
        const recordInput = { fields };
        
        updateRecord(recordInput)
            .then(() => {
                this.showSuccess('Stage updated successfully');
            })
            .catch(error => {
                this.showError(error);
            });
    }
    
    showSuccess(message) {
        this.dispatchEvent(new ShowToastEvent({
            title: 'Success',
            message,
            variant: 'success'
        }));
    }
    
    showError(error) {
        this.dispatchEvent(new ShowToastEvent({
            title: 'Error',
            message: error.body?.message || 'Unknown error',
            variant: 'error'
        }));
    }
}
```

**Phase 5: Testing & Rollout**
```yaml
Testing_Strategy:
  Unit_Tests:
    - LWC Jest tests (>80% coverage)
    - Apex unit tests (new service classes)
    - Integration tests
    
  UAT:
    - 50 power users for 2 weeks
    - A/B comparison with Visualforce
    - Performance benchmarking
    
  Rollout:
    Week_1: 10% of users (pilot)
    Week_2: 50% of users
    Week_3: 100% of users
    Rollback_Criteria: Error rate > 1% or Performance degradation > 20%
```

**Outcome:**
- 50% faster page load time (2s → 1s)
- 30% increase in mobile usage
- Zero rollback incidents
- User satisfaction: 4.7/5 (up from 3.2/5)
