Salesforce has unveiled the next generation of Salesforce Platform at TrailheaDX.
The upgraded platform includes low-code tools for interactive app development and automation, as well as new elastic computing, AI-driven data protection, identity management and DevOps capabilities to help teams drive business outcomes fast.
This gives anyone — including business users, admins, designers and developers — the ability to build apps and processes using low code, all while enabling the highest levels of IT governance, scale and trust.
“The future of app development is low-code, where anyone can participate to solve any business problem,” said Patrick Stokes, executive vice president and general manager of Platform, Salesforce.
“The trusted, powerful Salesforce Platform makes it easier and faster for everyone to build apps and get back to growth.”
According to the company, the upgraded Salesforce Platform empowers anyone to deliver business apps fast; collaborate and build on a single platform; and scale and ship secure apps with confidence.
Some key enhancements among many are as follows:
Dynamic Interactions, an App Builder enhancement, uses low code to build apps with web components that communicate, exchange data, and react to user actions. With Dynamic Interactions, components can be repeatedly added to any app without code, rather than built from scratch each time.
Einstein Automate provides creators with low-code tools to build workflows that automate time-intensive tasks and seamlessly integrate data. Flow Orchestrator helps compose workflows that automate complex, multi-user processes. MuleSoft Composer for Salesforce automates integrations from disparate apps and data sources to Salesforce without code.
Salesforce Functions is a service that lets organisations deploy code in a serverless environment so they can deliver scalable experiences by extending data and workflows they already have.
New, CLI Unification gives creators a command line interface (CLI) for building anything on Salesforce. With CLI Unification, creators can use cross-cloud commands to manage not just platform resources but also Heroku, Mulesoft, Tableau, and more. CLI Unification empowers teams to deliver faster, higher quality releases in a single tool through source control integration.
Salesforce Platform provides IT with tools to implement guardrails and governance layers to help ensure all apps being built are both secure and scalable.
