July 2024 Well-Architected Framework Release
Today we released new features and content to the Well-Architected Framework and the Pattern & Anti-Pattern Explorer 🎉. These new enhancements, while small, are a first step in a larger effort to bring Data Cloud and Einstein into the Well-Architected Framework and to enhance the usability of our tools. Here’s a look at what’s new.
Well-Architected Guidance for Data Cloud & Einstein
We finally have guidance for Data Cloud & Einstein in Salesforce Well-Architected. This is a big milestone for us, because it is the first time we’re publishing guidance that Salesforce can stand behind for these new innovations. We stand behind this guidance thanks to a cross-functional group of experts from our engineering, product, professional services and pre-sales organizations who came together to identify, debate, and discuss what patterns our customer architects should follow (and the anti-patterns they should avoid) when designing solutions with CRM, Data Cloud and Einstein.
You’ll be able to find this new content by navigating to the Pattern & Anti-Pattern Explorer where you can filter for the Location of either Data Cloud or Generative AI.
The group of experts who helped with this release will continue to identify new guidance and iterate on our backlog of guidance for publication on architect.salesforce.com leading up to Dreamforce.
Usability Enhancements for the Pattern & Anti-Pattern Explorer
As we continue to build out our library of patterns & anti-patterns, being able to find the guidance you need fast is more important than ever. We heard your feedback about the usability of the Pattern/Anti-Pattern Explorer, and that you wanted to search across the entire Framework without knowing what part of the Framework taxonomy the guidance is stored in. That’s why we adjusted the filter behavior of the Explorer. Now you can search for patterns & anti-patterns without first selecting a Framework dimension.
