💃 Improve your instance with this self-serve tool🕺

Good morning, Salesforce Nerds! Does your org handle scale effectively? Is the solution you’ve built capable of standing up to a large 🔼 increase in the amount of work it needs to perform? How do you even really know 🤔 when (or if) scalability issues will turn up?

These kinds of questions can be difficult to answer. They require a lot of analysis and in-depth study 🧑‍🎓 of your org.

Lucky for us, Salesforce has provided a toolset 🧰 that will help! Today we explore the new Scale Center tool!

Agenda for today includes

• Improve your instance with this self-serve tool

Improve your instance with this self-serve tool

About two months before Dreamforce this year & without much fanfare, a small post hit the Developers’ Blog to announce that a new tool was now GA.

There were two things I ❤️ about this post.

1. It’s mostly pictures 🖼️ 😀 

2. It intros a tool that can help avoid some of the most painful 🤕 issues on the platform

Say hello 👋 to Scale Center!

A tool that provides near real-time access to detailed data into performance metrics & provides you with actionable recommendations to improve things like:

• Integrations

• Reports

• Apex

• SOQL

• Lots more …

In short, this tool will help you address scalability issues within your org proactively instead of reactively. 🔥 

Just think of how powerful that can be. 🤔 

From an architect perspective 🏗️, it’s not uncommon to be brought into a project only after there are scalability issues surfacing and disrupting the business. 😡 These can be difficult & time consuming to address. Much of the time it can require large redesign and/or refactor efforts. 🫠 

Not a situation a company (or an architect) wants to find themselves in. 😱 

If only there were some way to get out in front of the issues that cause these kind of problems in the first place 🥸 

Scale Center will show you a snapshot 📸 of your org’s performance metrics over a defined period of time. ⌛️ 

Giving you a view into common errors 💣️ like failed logins, concurrent Apex errors, row locks, etc..

Plus, it includes key metrics visualized 📈 into charts for things average request time, database CPU time, total errors, etc..

This is the kind of thing that gets ChaCha excited! 🎉🥳 🎉 

Just think of the headaches you can avoid by monitoring the your org’s performance regularly. Seeing your queries slow 🐢 down? Or maybe an uptick in 🔒️ row locks? Seem like any interaction with the database is ⏰ taking too long?

Hit the Scale Center and start deep-diving into your analysis. 🤿
