Session Title

Architect’s Guide to Designing Composable Solutions

Session Description

This session will offer attendees insights into the practical application of composable solutions on the Salesforce platform. Attendees will learn from the real-world example of how Western Governors University, one of the largest universities in the US, is transforming its Salesforce implementation from a monolith to a composable architecture that will scale with the university for years to come. Attendees will learn about org strategy, packaging, decoupling, and leveraging platform features, like the Salesforce CLI and 2nd generation packaging, as well as the tooling, skills and governance required to effectively implement composable solutions.
