I'm back with another #LC26 Gemini review, this time for our Salesforce Architects London's Calling's Architect content is designed for those responsible for the long-term health, security, and scalability of Salesforce implementations. The agenda leans into the Salesforce Well-Architected framework and the strategic implications of AI. 1. Governance and Frameworks Architects are being encouraged to move away from "ad-hoc" builds toward structured frameworks: Architect Securely with Well-Architected Framework: A dive into the "Secure" pillar of Salesforce’s Well-Architected guide, focusing on how to build robust, compliant systems with Miriam McCabe and Lilith Van Biesen Is a Salesforce CoE (Centre of Excellence) worth the effort?: A strategic session on establishing governance bodies to manage large-scale or multi-org environments with David Shannon From “How” to “Why” – Thinking Beyond the Salesforce Ecosystem: Encourages architects to look at enterprise architecture patterns outside of Salesforce to better integrate the platform into a wider tech stack with Tomas Hnizdil 2. Strategy and Modernization Modern Salesforce Architecture - Evolving Without Starting Again: A critical session for architects dealing with "legacy" orgs that have grown too complex, focusing on iterative modernisation with Matthew Morris Don’t Start with the Roof - Foundations-First Architecture: Emphasizes building solid data and security models before layer on high-visibility features like AI or complex UI with Sam Wadhwani Reducing Technical Debt - Secrets the Web Won’t Tell You: Advanced strategies for auditing and pruning old code, automation, and metadata to maintain org performance with Fabrice Challier & Doria Hamelryk 3. Data & Security Architecture Security is a recurring theme for the 2026 event, reflecting the increased complexity of data sharing: Auto-Expiring Record Access: Designing security patterns for temporary sharing—essential for compliance-heavy industries with Bartłomiej W. Security In Action - Data and Access: A session focused on the architecture of high-security data models with Kate Lessard Seeing Everything - Mastering Observability: Focusing on how architects can design for "Observability" so that issues can be detected and resolved before they impact users with Ellie Matthewman 4. Designing for AI and Performance Architects must now design systems that are "Agent-ready": Well-Architected Workflows - Automating for Performance and People: Guidance on choosing the right automation tool (Flow vs. Apex vs. Agents) for the right architectural outcome with Terri Sinclair, & Melissa Shepard Architecting and Future Proofing Your Career in the Age of Agentforce: A session on how the Architect role is changing as AI takes over more low-level configuration tasks with Pei Mun Lim From Requirements to Reality - Turning Complex Ideas into Build-Ready Diagrams: A practical session on technical documentation and diagramming with Adam Lawrence

Architectural decisions made early in an implementation can shape scalability, performance, and maintainability for years to come. 🧩 As we prepare to open submissions for the Salesforce Architecture Blog: Community Author Program, we worked with Neha Nagori, Salesforce Architect and CTA, to help showcase the kind of real-world implementation experience and architectural thinking the program is designed to bring forward from the community. In this new blog, Neha explores recurring architectural anti-patterns in Salesforce implementations, including: 🔁 Brittle integrations ⚙️ Overcomplicated automation 🗂️ Data ownership challenges 📈 System complexity at scale Read the blog: https://sforce.co/4wZigNU
