The Role of Salesforce in Cloud-Native Enterprise Architectures

Abstract

Cloud-native enterprise architectures have emerged as the backbone of modern digital transformation strategies, enabling organizations to build scalable, resilient, and flexible systems. Salesforce, as a leading cloud-based platform, plays a pivotal role in this paradigm by offering a comprehensive suite of services for customer relationship management, application development, data analytics, and workflow automation. This paper explores Salesforce’s contribution to cloud-native architectures, emphasizing its ability to integrate seamlessly with microservices, serverless computing, and containerized environments. It highlights how Salesforce enhances scalability, agility, and operational efficiency while fostering innovation through its low-code development tools and AI-driven insights. Furthermore, the paper discusses the architectural advantages, challenges, and future directions of leveraging Salesforce in cloud-native enterprises.
