Navigating Data Residency: How to Remove Localized Siloes While Staying Compliant

With China and India following in the path of Russia and requiring strict data residency, the trend towards localization in privacy legislation is forcing IT to create data silos. But if you have invested in global front ends, can you afford to sacrifice business collaboration on the back end? How can you achieve true data agility across your systems while remaining compliant?ย 

In this session weโ€™ll review the implications of data residency requirements on data management and how the familiar IT infrastructure concept of zero trust can be applied within privacy technology to provide data agility and privacy compliance.

Data Mesh Pattern in the World of Salesforce

Recent advances in software and hardware fields have resulted in ever-more-complex system topologies and a staggering complexity of data management. The problem of complexity now extends way beyond the technology domain, spanning organizational and cultural aspects of the enterprise. Traditional software approaches, such as domain-driven-design and data architectures such as data warehouse or data lake are no longer sufficient. New patterns that combine technical and organizational aspects are required.

Learn about Data Mesh, and join a discussion about practical applications of this pattern in the world of Salesforce.

Performant API Queries in LDV/MDV Context: Research & Strategies

For the first time ever, Jean-Luc Antoine will present a modern API approach mixing technologies to increase data processing for MDV (Medium Data Volumes), and Sovan Bin will share research results after 9 years of LDV (Large Data Volumes) experience of processing more than 10>12 API calls.

An Introduction to Data Ethics for Machine Learning

The rise of cloud scale, machine learning models has brought with them major improvements in how we can address common problems ranging from making recommendations on what products to buy to recognizing objects in images or automating decisions in a business workflow.

These improvements have come about as a consequence of using unprecedented amounts of detailed data to train these models. This unprecedented use of data, however, has also brought with it a host of thorny ethical questions revolving around issues such as bias, fairness, trust, transparency, and control.

Choose Your Own Adventure: Salesforce Limits

While the number of API calls and storage limits get all the attention when planning a large-scale Salesforce implementation, less well-known limits can completely derail your project. With a CTA as your guide, examine the solution design and the performance impacts that only became apparent after rollout. Dive into the details of possible workarounds and the limitations encountered during each attempted corrective action.ย 

See if you can guess the limits that caused the pain (hint: it involves Email Messages and Files) and help architect a resolution.

Automating Security while Reducing Time to Release - Investing in DevSecOps

Over the past decade+ Salesforce has grown both vertically and horizontally into a platform more akin to a business operating system than a CRM web application. Gartner predicts that 99% of cloud security events will be due to human-introduced misconfigurations of systems settings. As such, large enterprises are building SaaS security programs and seeking automation tooling to address a challenge that cannot be solved manually.

In this talk you will learn about common high-risk misconfigurations, how to address them, and how to automate comprehensive security reviews at the key stages of your release cycle. The goal being to ensure critical misconfigurations are not promoted to Production, where remediation is considerably more costly and time-consuming.
