In the Salesforce architecture, while triggers stand as the vanguard of data-driven automation, trigger handlers orchestrate this automation. Diving deeper, a clearer picture of their significance in a streamlined Salesforce implementation arises:

  1. Defining trigger handlers: At a foundational level, a trigger handler is a class – a distinct unit of code – that contains the logic that the trigger will execute. Instead of placing all logic directly within the trigger, the trigger calls methods within these classes to perform the desired actions. By externalizing the logic into a handler, the code becomes more organized, modular, and maintainable. Each function or operation resides in its compartment, and the trigger itself remains lean, serving primarily as a dispatcher to these compartments.
  2. The rationale for using trigger handlers: Adopting trigger handlers underscores best practices for several compelling...
