Description

Welcome to the Salesforce Heroku AppLink course, where we will learn how to build scalable and performance-intensive solutions using industry-standard languages such as Node.js, Python, and more.This course is designed to teach Salesforce Heroku AppLink integration from scratch. You will understand why it is needed, how to choose the right solution, and how to build solutions from the very beginning through to advanced levels. By the end of this course, you will have a complete understanding of Heroku AppLink, starting from the fundamentals to real-world implementation.What is Heroku Applink ?Heroku AppLink lets you add unlimited compute power to your Salesforce org overcoming some platform governor limits while still keeping everything inside the trusted Salesforce ecosystem.Think of Heroku AppLink as a bridge between Salesforce and the outside world. It allows us to use code written in any programming language (Node.js, Python, Java, etc. hosted on Heroku) inside Salesforce. These External Solution can then be invoked via.1.Apex2.Flows3.Agentforce Agents. We will learn how to write simple and complex business logic using industry-standard programming languages such as Node.js and Python.We will learn how to define API specifications for API services.We will learn how to create Heroku apps, connect Heroku to an IDE, and deploy code using the Heroku CLI.We will learn how to publish Heroku AppLink solutions to Salesforce.We will learn how to build  GET and POST API operations in Node.js, connect them to Salesforce, and invoke them from Flows and Apex.We will work with external libraries provided by industry-standard languages, such as packages from npm for Node.js and PyPI for Python.We will work with the Salesforce SDK to perform various activities in Salesforce from externally hosted solutions.We will learn and implement various user modes supported by Heroku AppLink, including User Mode, User Plus Mode, and Authorized User Mode.We will work with queries, subqueries, and Unit of Work provided by the Data API.We will learn about callbacks in asynchronous API operations and how to build a custom callbackNote:You will get the PPT of each lecture.Code related to each lecture
