February 2024 Sneak Peek

In February we’ll be looking at the role architects serve in harmonizing AI and enterprise architecture and publishing updates to the Roadmap Explorer and Pattern/Anti-Pattern Explorer, along with some new data models. And with TDX ’24 coming in March, keep an eye out for the TDX ’24 Agenda Builder and our Architects Guide to TDX ’24, which are both coming this month.

We also just reopened our blog call for content, so if you’re interested in writing for the Salesforce Architects blog, make sure to review our submission guidelines and get ready to submit your draft.
