It’s August and we’re on the road to Dreamforce, which will be held from September 17th to 19th. This month we will be publishing content related to what you can expect from the Salesforce Architects & Well-Architected team at Dreamforce along with updates to decision guides, new blogs on Data Cloud and new data models in the Diagramming framework.

Our blog call for content will open in August, so if you’re interested in writing for the Salesforce Architects blog, make sure to review our submission guidelines and submit your draft before September 30th 2024.
