Automation and Collaboration in Focus at Salesforce’s TrailblazerDX 2022

Salesforce’s TrailblazerDX (TDX) 2022, a Salesforce developer conference at the end of April, featured a plethora of forward-looking statements, demos, workshops, and dancing mascots. Much was said and shown, but automation and collaboration were key themes at both TDX and the preceding analyst summit. So how does Salesforce's messaging line up with what software buyers are asking for?

Question on: Frends

What is the best practice in handling customer credentials.

Let's say you have 1000 instances all with different credentials and URLs. You want to store those in Frends so you can either loop all of them through one by one or search them by some ID or name. Customer data should also be easy to manage and one customer should have atleast: ID, name, URL, port, username, password, office, language

Usually the recommended way of storing sensitive information is to use Environment Variables in Frends. Unfortunately, if you group credentials for each customer under groups in Environment Variables you are not able to loop over them easily. If you store them in lists in Environment Variables you are not able to search them easily. In theory, you could save them e.g. is JSON structure under Eviroment Variables, but I don't know does that statisfy "easy to manage" requirement. Other option is to use external database or somethoing like Azure Key Vault.

Question on: HAProxy

What is HAProxy and why it is used?

Show Less

HAProxy makes your web application highly available, meaning that if you place it in your network in front of two or more web application servers, HAProxy will relay traffic to those servers in roughly equal volume. That way, if some of your servers go offline, HAProxy will simply route traffic away from them towards the healthy servers. The term for this is "load balancing", and HAProxy is a popular load balancer that you can install onto Linux. Of course, it offers additional features related to security, monitoring, routing, and traffic management.

Question on: Tray.ai

Is there a plan to suppot several environments? Like staging, qa, production?

I would like to have the support to have multiple environments. I currenlty duplicate the flows and use the configurable data to point to staging, qa or production, but I would like to have an easy way to do this natively in tray.

Thanks for the question Josue, we do currently support multiple environments through Workspaces. You could create a 'Staging' workspace, 'QA' workspace, and a 'Production' workspace and move workflows between these workspaces. We are working on improving movement between workspaces -- including the ability to promote workflows from a staging environment to a production environment.
