Summary


In this chapter, you have seen a number of platform features that directly help you build key structural and functional aspects of your application without writing a line of code, and in turn, further enabling your customers to extend and customize their application. The chapter also focused on optimizing the tasks performed by consultants and administrators to install and configure the application. Finally, you were made aware of limits imposed within the subscriber org, the ways to avoid them, and to have an awareness of them when packaging.

Continue to review and evolve your application by first looking for opportunities to embrace these and other platform features, and you will ensure that you and your customers' strong alignment with the current and future platform features continue to grow. In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into options and features surrounding the storage of data on the platform.
