What is Salesforce Integration?
In my prior post, I focused on what it means to be a Salesforce Business App Developer, and looked at some key native application development capabilities of the Salesforce Lightning Platform. In this post, I'll look at opportunities for becoming a Salesforce Integration Developer—and how the platform provides a standards-based open architecture to promote and allow integrations across an enterprise system landscape to one or more systems and applications, both on-prem and cloud-based.
Why Do Salesforce Customers Need Integration Developers?
While a Data or Business Analyst can typically define the requirements around any particular integration, the implementation of any sophisticated integration usually needs a resource with a developer mindset and broad technical experience. Opportunities for Integration Developers on the platform not only include ongoing integration projects, but also an almost never-ending need for legacy system data and process migrations.
