This document is for designers and architects who need to integrate the Lightning Platform with other applications in their enterprise. This content is a distillation of many successful implementations by Salesforce architects and partners. Read the pattern summary and selection matrix if you’re considering large-scale adoption of Salesforce-based applications (or the Lightning Platform) to become familiar with the integration capabilities and options available. Architects and developers should consider these pattern details and best practices during the design and implementation phase of a Salesforce integration project.
If implemented properly, these patterns enable you to get to production as fast as possible and have the most stable, scalable, and maintenance-free set of applications possible. Salesforce’s own consulting architects use these patterns as reference points during architectural reviews and are actively engaged in maintaining and improving them.
