Key considerations (further detail in our Supplier Terms)
As Salesforce is multi-tenant, there are 'governor limits' which prevent resources from being monopolised by any single organisation.
NB though these limits exist it's rare for customers to be impacted, and even more unusual for our current Public Sector customers. In the unlikely event of a need to increase, limits can be extended with various add-ons separately listed. Hitting a limit is often a sign of an underlying design flaw. Please make yourself aware of these limits at this link https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.210.0.salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.meta/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet/salesforce_app_limits_features.htm

Salesforce provides several simple, powerful, and secure APIs.
SOAP API to create, retrieve, update, or delete records, perform searches, etc. in real time in any language that supports web services.
REST API REST-based web services interface for use with mobile applications and web projects.
Chatter REST API similar to feed APIs offered by Facebook/ Twitter.
WAVE REST API access Wave Analytics assets, such as datasets, lenses and dashboards.
Bulk API based on REST principles optimised for loading or deleting large sets of data. Use it to handle many records asynchronously in batches.
Metadata API to retrieve, deploy, create, update, or delete customizations for your Salesforce instance. Migrate changes from testing to production. Intended for managing customizations and for building tools that can manage the metadata model, not the data itself.
Streaming API for notifications to be pushed from the server to the client, typically for applications that poll frequently.
Apex REST API & APEX SOAP API to expose Apex classes and methods so that external applications can access your code through REST or SOAP architecture, respectively. Both support OAuth 2.0 and Session ID for authorization.
Tooling API to integrate Salesforce metadata with other systems. REST and SOAP both supported. - API documentation
- Yes
- API documentation formats

- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
-
Point-and-click configuration: The Salesforce platform makes it easy to modify the functionality of Salesforce applications to meet your unique requirements. Working with the metadata framework and a series of simple point-and-click wizards, you can design custom user interfaces and modify the structure of the data model and the application’s business logic. Configuration enables organisations to modify objects, fields, validation rules, workflow, security settings, formulas, and much more without the need for code.
Customise with code: Although point-and-click configuration with the Salesforce platform is the fastest and easiest way to customise, some functionality is beyond the constraints of a metadata framework. For such cases, developers can create needed functionality in open-ended development environments, using toolkits for most of the common programming languages, or Apex.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- The daily transaction average for our platform is regularly 6 billion, consistently at sub 250ms response time within the Salesforce environment. Within each logical system, we use load balancers to distribute load among multiple availability zones for hyper-scalability and redundancy. The multitenant application design, combined with the fastest servers and high-performance networking infrastructure leveraged from the public cloud, guarantees fast performance. In addition to scaling for growth anywhere, Salesforce strives to improve the average response time of our services and to back up our claims, full details of transaction volumes and response times are reported in real-time at https://status.salesforce.com/

The Services use International/Global Step Up SSL certificates with 2048-bit Public Keys. Web Service callouts can be secured using TLS, and mutual TLS. Additionally, customers can partner with a selection of supported ISPs for a more direct connection to the Salesforce service. In the UK, BT are one such ISP. This service is known as Salesforce Express Connect. Specifically, Hyperforce also includes Salesforce Private Connect through AWS.
- Data protection within supplier network
-
- IPsec or TLS VPN gateway
- Other
- Other protection within supplier network
- Customer data is protected within the Salesforce service through a mature, standards-based defence in depth security architecture. Logical and physical access is strictly controlled and monitored and the controls used are in scope for the various security certifications the company has, and audited regularly by third parties. Controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection, anti-malware, file integrity monitoring are augmented with extensive monitoring to provide a robust prevention, detection and response model. Internal and external, as well as third-party vulnerability scanning and application penetration testing are also in place.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- The Salesforce Services are designed with the concept of continuous improvement and Trust (e.g. Availability, Performance and Security) in the infrastructure. Salesforce uses commercially reasonable efforts to make its on-demand services available to its customers 24/7, except for (minimal) planned downtime, for which Salesforce gives customers prior notice, and force majeure events. This service leverages Public Cloud region, and uses multiple availability zones. This pattern ensures a 99.9% service level agreement and allows services to withstand up to two different zonal faults and continue to be available. Live and historical statistics on Salesforce system performance are publicly published at: https://trust.salesforce.com/en/#systemStatus, and further detail can be shared upon request and NDA.
- Approach to resilience
-
A Hyperforce instance resides in a single public cloud region, and uses three availability zones for disaster recovery. This allows services to withstand up to two different zonal faults and continue to be available maintaining 99.9% uptime.
Compute resources are deployed across (at least) three zones within a given region. A regional level load balancer is placed on top of the instances and manages spreading load appropriately. Blob storage and certain other provider specific services will also be at a regional level (the list of services vary based on provider). Any service deployed in this pattern will need to tolerate two millisecond latency across zones. More detailed information is available under NDA on request. - Outage reporting
- Outages are publicised on a public portal and via email alerts. Escalation policies are established and maintained as Salesforce's goal is to rapidly restore service. In the event of an extended outage, periodic updates are provided in near real time to customers via the trust.salesforce.com dashboard site and in addition, service notifications are provided to nominated contacts via various channels such as email. Update frequency for notifications is dependent on the customer support service plan.
