First Step towards Salesforce Series : Chapter 3

Salesforce Architecture

Sharing Is Caring in the Multitenant Cloud.

 

Salesforce provides a core set of services to all our customers in the multitenant cloud. No matter the size of your business, you get access to the same computing power, data storage, and core features.

Metadata

Common definition we have heard is data about data.However in reality When our friends at RealEstate use Salesforce, they input and view data about properties. 

For example, a property (Object) can be located in Boston, cost $500,000, and have 3 bedrooms.

If we remove remove data from above we are left with Property object along with all its fields, like address, price, and number of bedrooms. You can also have page layouts, security settings, and any other customizations you’ve made. All of these standard and custom configurations, functionality, and code in your org are metadata.
