Automates business processes and modern web components.
Apex is Salesforce’s proprietary programming language used to build custom business logic. It is strongly typed, object-oriented, and works seamlessly with the Salesforce database. Apex enables developers to write triggers, classes, batch jobs, and web services for complex business requirements.
Apex is best suited for developers or admins with basic programming knowledge (Java, C#, or similar). It’s useful for those wanting to extend Salesforce with advanced automation and integrations beyond what clicks and flows can achieve.
No. Many tasks can be achieved with declarative tools like Flows and Validation Rules. Apex is required when logic is complex — for example, multi-step calculations, real-time integrations, or bulk data operations.
Apex is used for triggers (e.g., auto-creating invoices when an opportunity closes), batch jobs (e.g., nightly data cleanup), and API integrations (e.g., syncing Salesforce with ERP or payment systems).
Apex powers advanced business logic and integrations, enabling Salesforce to handle enterprise-level customizations. It’s essential for Salesforce Developers, Architects, and Integration Specialists.
Lightning Web Components (LWC) is Salesforce’s modern UI framework based on web standards like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It allows developers to build fast, reusable, and responsive UI components inside Salesforce Lightning.
LWC is ideal for front-end developers and Salesforce professionals familiar with HTML and JavaScript. Admins and Developers can learn LWC to enhance user experience and build custom Lightning pages.
Not always. Standard Lightning components often meet business needs. But when companies need custom UI/UX like guided forms, dynamic dashboards, or integration panels, LWC becomes necessary.
LWC is used for building interactive dashboards, custom wizards, and integrated panels (e.g., displaying live shipment status from a logistics API). It gives end users a modern, app-like experience.
LWC is the future of Salesforce UI development. It ensures performance, reusability, and modern design. Mastering LWC opens career paths as Salesforce Developers, UI/UX Specialists, and Technical Architects.
