Architecture that holds up as the org grows.
Enterprise architecture, data modeling, and scalable platform design. Led by Evan Eichert, who holds the Platform Data Architect, Application Architect, and Sharing and Visibility Architect credentials, with 7+ years designing and delivering platforms across financial services and healthcare.
Three signs the architecture is straining.
Salesforce architecture consulting is the design of an org's technical foundation: data models, integration patterns, security and sharing, and scalability planning. LOVALTO designs these four layers together so the platform keeps performing as data volume and automation grow. It is for organizations whose reports, page speed, or sharing model are starting to strain.
Reports cannot answer the question
The data model grew one object at a time, and the report leadership wants now takes three exports and a spreadsheet.
Reporting limitationsPages slow down as data grows
Slow page loads, timeout errors, and failing batch jobs show up once record volumes and automation stack up.
Performance issuesNobody can explain the sharing model
Access was granted one exception at a time. Now nobody is sure who can see what, and every change feels risky.
Access you cannot auditFour layers, designed together.
Data, integration, security, and scale are one design problem. We treat them as one.
Data architecture and modeling
- Custom object design that balances business requirements with platform limits for performance and scale
- Master‑detail and lookup relationships that support complex business processes while keeping data integrity
- Large data volume strategies: archiving, data skew prevention, and performance optimization
- Data models built for reporting and complex business intelligence requirements
Integration architecture
- REST and SOAP API implementations connecting Salesforce with ERP, marketing platforms, and custom applications
- MuleSoft, Boomi, and custom middleware for complex data orchestration
- Platform Events and Change Data Capture for real‑time data synchronization
- Connectivity between Salesforce and legacy banking and healthcare systems
Security and sharing architecture
- Organization‑wide defaults, role hierarchies, and sharing rules for complex organizational structures
- Criteria‑based sharing, manual sharing, and Apex managed sharing for granular access control
- Profile and permission set strategies for appropriate field‑level visibility across user populations
- Security models supporting HIPAA, SOC 2, and financial services regulatory requirements
Scalability and performance
- Architecture designed to run efficiently within governor limits at enterprise scale
- Batch Apex, queueable jobs, and asynchronous processing patterns for large data volumes
- Performance tuning for slow page loads, timeout errors, and batch processing failures
- Capacity planning and architecture roadmaps that support organizational growth
Design for the org you will have.
-
Model the data before the screens
Objects, relationships, and reporting structures are designed around the business process, with platform limits accounted for up front.
-
Pick integration patterns by volume and latency
REST and SOAP APIs for real‑time sync, middleware for orchestration, Platform Events and Change Data Capture for event‑driven work. Data volume, latency requirements, and system capabilities decide.
-
Design sharing for the real org chart
Organization‑wide defaults, role hierarchy, and sharing rules that match how the organization works, including HIPAA, SOC 2, and financial services requirements.
-
Plan for growth from day one
Governor limits, sharing models, automation design, and data volume management are planned before they become incidents.
Salesforce architecture, answered.
What does a Salesforce architect do?
A Salesforce architect designs the technical foundation of your Salesforce platform, including data models, integration patterns, security architecture, and scalability planning. They ensure your platform can grow with your business while maintaining performance and security.
Why is data modeling important in Salesforce?
Proper data modeling determines how information flows through your Salesforce org. Poor data models lead to performance issues, reporting limitations, and difficult maintenance. A well-architected data model supports complex business processes while remaining scalable and maintainable.
How do you ensure Salesforce architecture is scalable?
Scalable Salesforce architecture requires careful planning around governor limits, sharing models, automation design, and data volume management. LOVALTO designs every platform with growth in mind from day one.
What integration patterns does LOVALTO recommend?
Integration patterns depend on your specific needs. Common patterns include REST/SOAP APIs for real-time sync, middleware platforms for complex orchestration, and event-driven architectures using Platform Events. We select patterns based on data volume, latency requirements, and system capabilities.
Need a diagnosis first?
If the org already exists, a Health Check finds the architectural debt before you design around it. Integration builds are covered under Integrations, and code-level work under Custom Development. The credentials behind the work are listed on Salesforce certifications.
