COMPARISONS
Salesforce Comparisons
Understand when to use what through practical tradeoff pages.
Discovery Layer
Move through curated Salesforce knowledge instead of scattered pages.
Use filters, connected records, and role-aware paths to keep discovery structured.
Aura vs LWC
Use LWC as the modern default and keep Aura mainly for legacy support or edge capabilities still tied to older patterns.
ComparisonsCustom Metadata vs Custom Settings
Favor Custom Metadata for deployable configuration and use Custom Settings only when the runtime behavior truly requires it.
ComparisonsFlow vs Apex
Use Flow for well-scoped declarative automation and Apex when you need stronger control, reuse, or technical orchestration.
ComparisonsLookup vs Master-Detail
Choose based on lifecycle dependency, security inheritance, and roll-up needs rather than habit.
ComparisonsProcess Builder vs Flow
Flow is the strategic automation direction and should be the standard choice for modern implementations.
ComparisonsProfiles vs Permission Sets
Use profiles for base user shape and permission sets for additive access that can scale without profile sprawl.
ComparisonsPublic Group vs Queue
Use public groups for sharing and grouping, and queues for work ownership and routing.
ComparisonsQueueable vs Future vs Batch
Choose the async pattern that matches workload size, chaining needs, and operational control.
ComparisonsREST vs SOAP in Salesforce
REST is usually the practical default, while SOAP still matters in strict enterprise contract scenarios.
ComparisonsRole vs Profile vs Permission Set
These are different layers: record visibility, baseline user shape, and additive access.
ComparisonsSOQL vs SOSL
Use SOQL for precise structured retrieval and SOSL for text-search behavior across objects and fields.
ComparisonsTrigger vs Record-Triggered Flow
Choose based on logic complexity, reuse, governance, and whether declarative execution is genuinely sufficient.
ComparisonsValidation Rule vs Flow vs Apex
Choose the lightest tool that still gives you the needed timing, control, and maintainability.
