New Salesforce observability course now available!
Have you ever stared down a cryptic Salesforce error message, feeling like it’s just the tip of a much bigger problem? Maybe your deployments are slower than expected, or users are flagging issues that are hard to track down. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Get deeper insights into your org’s health and performance with our brand-new Salesforce observability course: your free guide to getting ahead of bugs and failures.
As Salesforce environments grow in complexity, understanding their inner workings — their health, performance, and the intricacies of metadata — becomes absolutely crucial. Simply reacting to error messages isn’t enough to build robust, reliable applications that your users love and your business depends on. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to announce a new addition to the DevOps Launchpad training library: the Salesforce observability course. Read on to learn more about the course, and why it’s your next best investment in building a more resilient Salesforce application.
What’s this course all about?
This isn’t just another technical deep dive. Our new observability course is designed for Salesforce developers, admins, architects, and release managers who want to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive performance management. We’ll help you understand not just the “what” but the “why” and “how” of building truly observable Salesforce systems.
Good observability is like switching the lights on in a previously dim room. Suddenly, you can see clearly, navigate with confidence, and spot potential issues before they become major headaches.
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
- Grasp the core principles of observability and why they’re a game-changer for Salesforce DevOps.
- Identify the key signals from your Salesforce orgs — logs, metrics, and traces — and how to interpret them effectively.
- Understand the tools and techniques available for monitoring your environments, helping you choose what’s right for your team.
- Go beyond basic error logs to truly understand the flow of data and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Implement practical observability strategies that can improve your release velocity, reduce bugs, and make your Salesforce development lifecycle smoother and more predictable.
- Develop a culture of observability within your team, empowering everyone to contribute to a more stable and efficient Salesforce platform.
