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, in turn, further enabling your customers to extend and customize their applications. The chapter also focused on optimizing the tasks performed by consultants and administrators to install and configure an application. Finally, you were made aware of limits imposed within the package installation org and ways to avoid them, and now have an awareness of them when packaging your application.

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