Have you had the chance to use Salesforce functions?

Hi all,

Our Salesforce Solution Engineer currently held the webinar dedicated to Salesforce Evergreen Function.

We found the following Use Cases:

#1 Database Operation

This function can be applied to execute financial calculations and work-order generation.

#2 Elastic & Event-Driven Computing

Evergreen can help with image and file processing and demanding queries.

#3 Creating Reusable Backend Logic

You can perform data validation cleansing and building web APIs over your data.

What is more, Salesforce Evergreen functions can manage quite big financial calculations and custom analytics.

#4 Salesforce Backup of Large Data Sets

There are quite a few third-party solutions and services that can help with Salesforce data backup.

But all third-party services work with queries and might reach the limits quite fast. Especially, if the license doesn’t allow a big number of queries.

The key advantage of the Salesforce function is that you won’t reach your limits on system queries.

So if you need to deal with big data volumes for backup, the function is a good option.

#5 Files Migration and Parsing

Salesforce function is a great helper in work with files.

First, you can easily migrate files from Lightning Web Component to Google Drive or to Salesforce.

Next, you can leverage the Salesforce function for parsing files.

For example, you can parse CVs and fill in field values in your Salesforce org automatically.

Based on my experience, the Salesforce function is the best for such tasks. You can do it from UI or call it from Apex.

#6 Custom Development of Artificial Intelligence Solutions

Using Salesforce Function, you can even develop custom AI solutions.

For example, one of our clients works in the agricultural industry.

His request was to process data collected by satellites.

And, based on this data, AI should make a decision.

And in this case, the Salesforce function would work the best.

You can also create small microservices that can be re-used from different places to perform different business tasks.

Can you add anything from your personal experience? Will it be as popular as it has been expected among Salesforce developers?
