🚨 CRITICAL GUIDELINES Windows File Path Requirements

MANDATORY: Always Use Backslashes on Windows for File Paths

When using Edit or Write tools on Windows, you MUST use backslashes () in file paths, NOT forward slashes (/).

Examples:

❌ WRONG: D:/repos/project/file.tsx ✅ CORRECT: D:\repos\project\file.tsx

This applies to:

Edit tool file_path parameter Write tool file_path parameter All file operations on Windows systems Documentation Guidelines

NEVER create new documentation files unless explicitly requested by the user.

Priority: Update existing README.md files rather than creating new documentation Repository cleanliness: Keep repository root clean - only README.md unless user requests otherwise Style: Documentation should be concise, direct, and professional - avoid AI-generated tone User preference: Only create additional .md files when user specifically asks for documentation Salesforce Hyperforce Architecture (2025) What is Hyperforce?

Hyperforce is Salesforce's next-generation infrastructure architecture built on public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). It represents a complete re-architecture of Salesforce from data center-based infrastructure to cloud-native, containerized microservices.

Key Innovation: Infrastructure as code that can be deployed anywhere, giving customers choice, control, and data residency compliance.

Five Architectural Principles 1. Immutable Infrastructure

Traditional: Patch and update existing servers Hyperforce: Destroy and recreate servers with each deployment

Old Architecture: Server → Patch → Patch → Patch → Configuration Drift

Hyperforce: Container Image v1 → Deploy New Code → Build Container Image v2 → Replace v1 with v2 Result: Every deployment is identical, reproducible

Benefits:

No configuration drift Consistent environments (dev = prod) Fast rollback (redeploy previous image) Security patches applied immediately 2. Multi-Availability Zone Design

Architecture:

Region: US-East (Virginia) ├─ Availability Zone A (Data Center 1) │ ├─ App Servers (Kubernetes pods) │ ├─ Database Primary │ └─ Load Balancer ├─ Availability Zone B (Data Center 2) │ ├─ App Servers (Kubernetes pods) │ ├─ Database Replica │ └─ Load Balancer └─ Availability Zone C (Data Center 3) ├─ App Servers (Kubernetes pods) ├─ Database Replica └─ Load Balancer

Traffic Distribution: Round-robin across all AZs Failure Handling: If AZ fails, traffic routes to remaining AZs RTO (Recovery Time Objective): <5 minutes RPO (Recovery Point Objective): <30 seconds

Impact on Developers:

Higher availability (99.95%+ SLA) Transparent failover (no code changes) Regional data residency guaranteed 3. Zero Trust Security

Traditional: Perimeter security (firewall protects everything inside) Hyperforce: No implicit trust - verify everything, always

Zero Trust Model: ├─ Identity Verification (MFA required for all users by 2025) ├─ Device Trust (managed devices only) ├─ Network Segmentation (micro-segmentation between services) ├─ Least Privilege Access (minimal permissions by default) ├─ Continuous Monitoring (real-time threat detection) └─ Encryption Everywhere (TLS 1.3, data at rest encryption)

Code Impact:

// OLD: Assume internal traffic is safe public without sharing class InternalService { // No auth checks - trusted network }

// HYPERFORCE: Always verify, never trust public with sharing class InternalService { // Always enforce sharing rules // Always validate session // Always check field-level security

public List<Account> getAccounts() {
    // WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED prevents data leaks
    return [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED];
}

}

2025 Requirements:

MFA Mandatory: All users must enable MFA Session Security: Shorter session timeouts, IP restrictions API Security: JWT with short expiration (15 minutes) 4. Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Everything defined as code, version-controlled:

Hyperforce deployment manifest (conceptual)

apiVersion: hyperforce.salesforce.com/v1 kind: SalesforceOrg metadata: name: production-org region: aws-us-east-1 spec: edition: enterprise features: - agentforce - dataCloud - einstein compute: pods: 50 autoScaling: min: 10 max: 100 targetCPU: 70% storage: size: 500GB replication: 3 backup: frequency: hourly retention: 30days networking: privateLink: enabled ipWhitelist: - 203.0.113.0/24

Benefits for Developers:

Reproducible: Recreate exact environment anytime Version Controlled: Track all infrastructure changes in Git Testable: Validate infrastructure before deployment Automated: No manual configuration, eliminates human error 5. Clean Slate (No Legacy Constraints)

Hyperforce rebuilt from scratch:

Modern Kubernetes orchestration Cloud-native services (managed databases, object storage) API-first design (everything accessible via API) Microservices architecture (independent scaling) No legacy code or technical debt Public Cloud Integration AWS Hyperforce Architecture ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ AWS Region (us-east-1) │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) │ │ ├─ Public Subnets (3 AZs) │ │ │ └─ Application Load Balancer (ALB) │ │ ├─ Private Subnets (3 AZs) │ │ │ ├─ EKS Cluster (Kubernetes) │ │ │ │ ├─ Salesforce App Pods (autoscaling) │ │ │ │ ├─ Metadata Service Pods │ │ │ │ ├─ API Gateway Pods │ │ │ │ └─ Background Job Pods (Batch, Scheduled) │ │ │ ├─ RDS Aurora PostgreSQL (multi-AZ) │ │ │ ├─ ElastiCache Redis (session storage) │ │ │ └─ S3 Buckets (attachments, documents) │ │ └─ Database Subnets (3 AZs) │ │ └─ Aurora Database Cluster │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Additional Services │ │ ├─ CloudWatch (monitoring, logs) │ │ ├─ CloudTrail (audit logs) │ │ ├─ AWS Shield (DDoS protection) │ │ ├─ AWS WAF (web application firewall) │ │ ├─ KMS (encryption key management) │ │ └─ PrivateLink (secure connectivity) │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

AWS Services Used:

Compute: EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) Database: Aurora PostgreSQL (multi-master) Storage: S3 (object storage), EBS (block storage) Networking: VPC, ALB, Route 53, CloudFront CDN Security: IAM, KMS, Shield, WAF, Certificate Manager Azure Hyperforce Architecture Azure Region (East US) ├─ Virtual Network (VNet) │ ├─ AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) │ │ └─ Salesforce workloads │ ├─ Azure Database for PostgreSQL (Hyperscale) │ ├─ Azure Cache for Redis │ └─ Azure Blob Storage ├─ Azure Front Door (CDN + Load Balancer) ├─ Azure Monitor (logging, metrics) ├─ Azure Active Directory (identity) └─ Azure Key Vault (secrets, encryption)

Data Residency and Compliance Geographic Regions (2025)

Available Hyperforce Regions:

Americas: ├─ US East (Virginia) - AWS, Azure ├─ US West (Oregon) - AWS ├─ US Central (Iowa) - GCP ├─ Canada (Toronto) - AWS └─ Brazil (São Paulo) - AWS

Europe: ├─ UK (London) - AWS ├─ Germany (Frankfurt) - AWS, Azure ├─ France (Paris) - AWS ├─ Ireland (Dublin) - AWS └─ Switzerland (Zurich) - AWS

Asia Pacific: ├─ Japan (Tokyo) - AWS ├─ Australia (Sydney) - AWS ├─ Singapore - AWS ├─ India (Mumbai) - AWS └─ South Korea (Seoul) - AWS

Middle East: └─ UAE (Dubai) - AWS

Data Residency Guarantees

What stays in region:

All customer data (records, attachments, metadata) Database backups Transaction logs Audit logs

What may leave region:

Telemetry data (anonymized performance metrics) Security threat intelligence Platform health monitoring

Code Implication:

// Data residency automatically enforced // No code changes needed - Hyperforce handles it

// Example: File stored in org's region ContentVersion cv = new ContentVersion( Title = 'Customer Contract', PathOnClient = 'contract.pdf', VersionData = Blob.valueOf('contract data') ); insert cv;

// File automatically stored in: // - AWS S3 in org's region // - Encrypted at rest (AES-256) // - Replicated across 3 AZs in region // - Never leaves region boundary

Compliance Certifications

Hyperforce maintains:

SOC 2 Type II: Security, availability, confidentiality ISO 27001: Information security management GDPR: EU data protection compliance HIPAA: Healthcare data protection (BAA available) PCI DSS: Payment card data security FedRAMP: US government cloud security (select regions) Performance Improvements Latency Reduction

Old Architecture (data center-based):

User (Germany) → Transatlantic cable → US Data Center → Response Latency: 150-200ms

Hyperforce:

User (Germany) → Frankfurt Hyperforce Region → Response Latency: 10-30ms

Result: 5-10x faster for regional users

Auto-Scaling

Traditional: Fixed capacity, must provision for peak load Hyperforce: Dynamic scaling based on demand

Business Hours (9 AM - 5 PM): ├─ High user load ├─ Kubernetes scales up pods: 50 → 150 └─ Response times maintained

Off Hours (6 PM - 8 AM): ├─ Low user load ├─ Kubernetes scales down pods: 150 → 30 └─ Cost savings (pay for what you use)

Black Friday (peak event): ├─ Extreme load ├─ Kubernetes scales to maximum: 30 → 500 pods in minutes └─ No downtime, no performance degradation

Governor Limits - No Change:

// Hyperforce does NOT change governor limits // Limits remain the same as classic Salesforce: // - 100 SOQL queries per transaction // - 150 DML statements // - 6 MB heap size (sync), 12 MB (async)

// But: Infrastructure scales to handle more concurrent users

Migration to Hyperforce Migration Process

Salesforce handles migration (no customer action required):

Phase 1: Assessment (Salesforce internal) ├─ Analyze org size, customizations ├─ Identify any incompatible features └─ Plan migration window

Phase 2: Pre-Migration (Customer notified) ├─ Salesforce sends notification (90 days notice) ├─ Customer tests in sandbox (migrated first) └─ Customer validates functionality

Phase 3: Migration (Weekend maintenance window) ├─ Backup all data ├─ Replicate data to Hyperforce ├─ Cutover DNS (redirect traffic) └─ Validate migration success

Phase 4: Post-Migration ├─ Monitor performance ├─ Support customer issues └─ Decommission old infrastructure

Downtime: Typically <2 hours

What Changes for Developers?

No Code Changes Required:

// Your Apex code works identically on Hyperforce public class MyController { public List getAccounts() { return [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account LIMIT 10]; } }

// No changes needed // Same APIs, same limits, same behavior

Potential Performance Improvements:

Faster API responses (lower latency) Better handling of concurrent users Improved batch job processing (parallel execution)

Backward Compatibility: 100% compatible with existing code

Testing Pre-Migration

Use Sandbox Migration:

1. Salesforce migrates your sandbox first

2. Test all critical functionality: ├─ Custom Apex classes ├─ Triggers and workflows ├─ Integrations (API callouts) ├─ Lightning components └─ Reports and dashboards

3. Validate performance: ├─ Run load tests ├─ Check API response times └─ Verify batch jobs complete

4. Report any issues to Salesforce

5. Production migration scheduled after sandbox validated

Hyperforce for Developers Enhanced APIs

Hyperforce exposes infrastructure APIs:

// Query org's Hyperforce region (API 62.0+) Organization org = [SELECT Id, InstanceName, InfrastructureRegion__c FROM Organization LIMIT 1]; System.debug('Region: ' + org.InfrastructureRegion__c); // 'aws-us-east-1'

// Check if org is on Hyperforce System.debug('Is Hyperforce: ' + org.IsHyperforce__c); // true

Private Connectivity

AWS PrivateLink / Azure Private Link:

Traditional: Salesforce API → Public Internet → Your API Security: TLS encryption, but still public internet

Hyperforce PrivateLink: Salesforce API → Private Network → Your API Security: Never touches public internet, lower latency

Setup: 1. Create VPC Endpoint (AWS) or Private Endpoint (Azure) 2. Salesforce provides service endpoint name 3. Configure Named Credential in Salesforce with private endpoint 4. API calls route over private network

Configuration:

// Named Credential uses PrivateLink endpoint // Setup → Named Credentials → External API (PrivateLink) // URL: https://api.internal.example.com (private endpoint)

// Apex callout HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); req.setEndpoint('callout:ExternalAPIPrivateLink/data'); req.setMethod('GET');

Http http = new Http(); HttpResponse res = http.send(req);

// Callout never leaves private network // Lower latency, higher security

Monitoring

CloudWatch / Azure Monitor Integration:

Salesforce publishes metrics to your cloud account: ├─ API request volume ├─ API response times ├─ Error rates ├─ Governor limit usage └─ Batch job completion times

Benefits: - Unified monitoring (Salesforce + your apps) - Custom alerting (CloudWatch Alarms) - Cost attribution (AWS Cost Explorer)

Best Practices for Hyperforce Security Enable MFA: Required for all users in 2025 Use WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED: Field-level security in SOQL Implement IP whitelisting: Restrict access to known IPs Monitor audit logs: Setup → Event Monitoring Rotate credentials: API keys, certificates, passwords regularly Performance Leverage caching: Platform Cache for frequently accessed data Optimize queries: Use indexed fields, selective queries Async processing: Use @future, Queueable for non-critical work Bulkification: Always design for 200+ records Monitor limits: Use Limits class to track governor limit usage Data Residency Understand requirements: Know your compliance obligations Choose correct region: Select region meeting your needs Validate configurations: Ensure integrations respect boundaries Document decisions: Maintain records of data residency choices Cost Optimization Right-size storage: Archive old data, delete unnecessary records Optimize API calls: Batch API calls, use composite APIs Schedule batch jobs efficiently: Run during off-peak hours Monitor usage: Track API calls, storage, compute usage Resources Hyperforce Trust Site: https://trust.salesforce.com/en/infrastructure/hyperforce/ Hyperforce FAQ: Salesforce Help documentation Available Regions: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.getstart_domain_overview.htm Migration Guide: Provided by Salesforce 90 days before migration Trust & Compliance: https://compliance.salesforce.com/ Future Roadmap (2025+)

Expected Enhancements:

More regions (Africa, additional Asia Pacific) Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) - use your own AWS/Azure account Multi-region active-active (write to multiple regions simultaneously) Edge computing (Salesforce at CDN edge locations) Kubernetes cluster API (direct pod management for enterprises)

Hyperforce represents Salesforce's commitment to modern, cloud-native infrastructure that scales globally while meeting the most stringent compliance and performance requirements.
