Welcome to the new hub for all things Salesforce Engineering! This site is where you can get a behind-the-scenes look at how we build business-critical software at scale, take a peek at how we contribute to the open source community, meet some of our technical employees, and learn more about what it\u2019s like to work at Salesforce.<\/p>\n
The story of Salesforce, in some ways, is not unlike many tech companies. It started in a small apartment in San Francisco, and over 20 years has expanded to 100+ offices in 29 Countries. Salesforce was founded on three core innovations: our cloud\/multi-tenant technology<\/a>, our subscription model for selling software, and our focus on philanthropy<\/a>. Each of these, in the early years, were core differentiators; they are what made us stand out from the rest.<\/p>\n Today, we remain driven by our core values of Trust<\/strong>, Customer Success<\/strong>, Innovation<\/strong>, Equality<\/strong>, and Sustainability<\/strong>. Our engineering teams live these out by<\/p>\n building security into our products from the ground up,regularly delivering product updates with near-zero downtime for our customers,re-imagining our infrastructure for the modern public cloud<\/a>,volunteering in truly geeky fashion<\/a>,providing financial support to open source projects<\/a>, andultimately contributing to a more collaborative, inclusive, and connected world.<\/p>\n Our products help companies around the world connect with their customers and establish lasting, trusted relationships. It\u2019s our job as engineers to ensure all systems are always a go. And not just any systems\u2014we\u2019re talking systems at pretty massive scale.<\/p>\n 164,200,000,000<\/strong> AI predictions served6,600,000,000 <\/strong>customer service interactions3,700,000,000<\/strong> marketing messages sent2,041,000,000<\/strong> Slack actions taken8,960,000<\/strong> reports and dashboards created or used2,110,000<\/strong> e-commerce orders processed<\/p>\n All told, Salesforce powers trillions<\/strong> of platform, consumer, and employee interactions every single day.<\/p>\n The bottom line is that our customers trust us with the success of their businesses, and there is no room for failure. Our users expect us to be highly available, lightning fast, supremely secure, and to preserve all of their customizations and integrations every time we ship, without breaking anything. This all creates complex and unique challenges for our engineering teams, which we\u2019ll write about here on this blog. You\u2019ll hear from engineers across our Salesforce product lines who use an array of programming languages and open source technologies to get their work done.<\/p>\n Read more about how we think about software architecture<\/a>, how our infrastructure has evolved<\/a> to meet the demands of modern SaaS, how we deliver on our promises of availability and performance<\/a>, and how we house our customer data<\/a> in a way that lets us scale.
