Salesforce Development for Apex, Flow and LWC

Most Salesforce orgs reach a point where configuration alone stops being enough. A sales process needs logic that a validation rule cannot express, an integration needs a callout with proper retry handling, or a user interface needs to show data from three objects on one screen. That is where custom development starts, and where many orgs quietly accumulate risk: triggers that fail on bulk loads, flows that nobody can explain, and code with tests written only to reach the coverage threshold.

Who this service is for

We work with platform owners, Salesforce admins who have outgrown declarative tools, and technical leads who need extra engineering capacity with Salesforce depth. Typical situations include:

• A backlog of requirements that need Apex or Lightning Web Components, with no in-house developer to build them.
• An existing codebase that hits governor limits, fails during data loads or breaks after releases.
• Automation spread across Process Builder, workflow rules, flows and triggers on the same object, with unclear order of execution.
• Deployments done by hand through change sets, with no version control or repeatable release process.

Choosing between Flow and Apex

We do not default to code. Flow is often the better choice when admins will own the logic and the volume and complexity are moderate. Apex earns its place when you need complex data processing, fine control over transactions and error handling, heavy bulk volumes, or logic that is hard to express and test visually. For each requirement we write down which tool we chose and why, so the decision can be revisited later. Our Flow vs Apex guide sets out the trade-offs in more detail.

Engineering standards we apply

• One automation strategy per object. Before adding logic, we map what already runs on that object so new work does not collide with existing triggers or flows.
• Bulk safety by default. Every trigger and invocable method is written and tested against collections of records, not single records.
• Tests that assert behaviour. Salesforce requires a minimum level of Apex test coverage to deploy to production, but coverage is a floor, not a measure of quality. Our tests create their own data, check outcomes and cover failure paths.
• No hard-coded IDs or credentials. Configuration lives in custom metadata, custom settings or Named Credentials.
• Readable code. Consistent naming, small methods and comments that explain why.

What you receive

• Source code in your version control repository, not ours.
• Automated tests with meaningful assertions.
• A design note for each significant feature, including the reasoning behind tool choices.
• Deployment steps and any manual post-deployment actions written down.
• A handover session recorded or documented for your admins and developers.

What we need from you

Development goes faster and safer when we have sandbox access with appropriate permissions, a named product owner who can answer questions and accept work, and access to the people who understand the business process. If the requirement depends on a third-party system, we will also need API documentation and a test environment for that system. If requirements are still loose, see writing requirements developers can build.
