Application Architect | Part 1 of 3 | Enjoy the Journey

This side of the pyramid will 🤿 dive deep into your knowledge of Salesforce functionality and how it supports building apps from a declarative and programmatic perspective.

You’re going to need to know the ins & outs of designing/building a data model, how sharing & security mechanisms work, Flows, Apex, LWC, Role Hierarchies, debugging, LDV, data migrations … 🤯

You’ll basically be like Neo after this one. 😎

👷 Platform App Builder

If you’re just starting out on this journey, then I would start here. It’s a logical place to begin because anyone building apps on Salesforce needs to know about the declarative options available to them. That’s exactly what this exam will test.

I’m talking everything from validation rules, approval processes, roll-up summaries, to Flows. Be ready to showcase your skills on the design & build of solutions through the use of only a declarative toolset.

It’s a $200 test that honestly isn’t super difficult if you’ve been working on the platform a bit.
