Maximizing Salesforce Lightning Experience and Lightning Component PerformanceSalesforce Developers
We all want the Salesforce Lightning Experience to be fast- but how do we define fast, and how do we make it even faster? When you’re building a UI, everything you add to the page affects performance, and to make load times faster and perform the way users expect, we need to treat speed as an essential design feature. In this presentation, you’ll learn how to measure performance, learn a few tips on how to maximize performance, and take responsibility for your feature’s performance from design to production.
Earlier when you required a custom feature in your Salesforce installation to support your business process, the only available options were to create a brand new app and integrate it in your Salesforce or to use existing features in a creative way to achieve the same objective. However Salesforce evolved and we now have got Salesforce Visual Flow, also known as Salesforce Visual Workflow or simply Salesforce Flow.
Visual flow can be summed up as an app inside the Salesforce app. Analogically, what methods are to object oriented programming, visual flow is to Salesforce. To be more precise, a Flow is a wizard or a set of screens in sequential order which can be used to complete a business process. This business process can be anything like filling out a form, or working on a script, or even filling out a survey. The Flow has the ability to fetch, edit, and create all Salesforce information in an appealing, quick and smart manner.
Difference between Salesforce.com Flow and Workflow
Salesforce Flow or Visual Workflow is often confused with a feature named Workflow in Salesforce and that’s forgivable! They may be similar in certain fashion such as assisting in automating a business process, but in essence they both are different. Here is how:
- Visual Workflow is more of a front-end based tool. It is mainly used when you have to display or collect information through screens making it more visible to the users. Workflow on the other hand execute pre-defined rules behind the scenes. They are used to process information rather than collecting it.
- While Workflows are mainly triggered by events, Visual Workflows are triggered by user actions. However in Visual Workflows, you can also Autolaunch Flows i.e. start a Flow without user interaction. Since they are triggered without user interactions you cannot include steps, choices, screens or dynamic choices in your Autolaunch Flow.
- Flows can fetch, delete, update or even create records on multiple objects but Workflows are defined to affect only a single specified object. The exception to this is the case of Workflows having to update fields on specified object’s related master records.
How to create and trigger Flow?
Flows can be used to execute a business logic, interact with Salesforce Databases, call defined Apex classes and guide user through screens. There are three main aspects of a Flow creation process:
- Designing
- Management
- Flow Runtime
You can create Flows and open Cloud Flow Designer by going through the following steps
Name-> Setup-> App Setup-> Create-> Workflow & Approvals-> Flows-> New Flow.
Once you have defined your Flow you can easily add it to any Visualforce page or you can add your Flow’s URL link to your Salesforce installation’s homepage.
You can create your Flow triggers by going through the same above process and instead of clicking Flow, click Flow Trigger.

Practical SQL query monitoring and optimizationIvo Andreev
Practical SQL query monitoring and optimization
Today the project owners demand results as soon as possible and most often - for yesterday. Time to market is crucial and it is practical to deliver bit-by-bit, get feedback and grow with the number of your customers. But as the project grows, the team does too and not all have the same expertise. As well rarely in the beginning the requirements clear enough to allow performance-wise SQL interaction. In most cases there does not exist an ORM that can solve this task for you and you will need to have hard T-SQL writer in the team. If you already know this story or are going this way then in this practical session we will share how to monitor, measure and optimize your SQL code and DB layer interaction.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

25. Data definition processing is optimized
to avoid performance hits or
concurrency limits
Examples:
• Sort all records by primary key before attempting
DML
• Operate on tables in deterministic order
• Slot reallocation for field datatype change
• Deferred calculation for new rollup-summary field
• Background processing of mass changes
