Architectural Decisions in the AI Era: Flow, Apex, and Agentforce
Architects have too many topics on their mind nowadays: Flow, Apex, APIs and AI agents (Agentforce). How should they decide what part of the logic goes where? That is the problem.

Accounts and Contacts in Salesforce: The Foundation Every Admin Needs to Get Right
