Project: Salesforce Platform Architect Portfolio

Version: 1.0

Owner: Ryan Bumstead

Date: MVP – Q1 2026

1. Strategic Summary (Read This First)

The Problem: Enterprise Salesforce implementations often fail due to three silent killers: uncontrolled costs (FinOps), slow performance (LCP > 4s), and fragile security (Guest User leaks).

The Solution: This portfolio demonstrates a Zero-Cost, High-Scale Architecture. It proves you can build an enterprise-grade, secure, and observable system entirely within the constraints of the Salesforce Free Tier.

Why It Matters:

[!TIP] For Non-Salesforce Readers: It proves we can respect budget constraints without sacrificing capability.

• For Architects: It demonstrates “Glass Box Telemetry” — showing exactly how the system behaves under load.
• For Recruiters: It is a living proof-of-work that loads in < 2.5 seconds.

If you only inspect one thing, look at the Systems Architecture Specification (SAS) to see the “North Star” diagram.

2. Strategic Intent

This Executive Overview defines the strategic intent and delivery plan for the Salesforce Platform Architect Portfolio. It serves as the authoritative entry point for project scope, business value, and timeline.

3. Business Value: Why Build This Complexity?

The primary problem this portfolio solves is that Recruiters and Hiring Managers struggle to verify an architect’s hands-on skills through static PDFs.

• The Need: A verified, interactive demonstration of complex capabilities like API design, LWC, and AI.
• The Value: This system intentionally mirrors a real enterprise architecture so evaluators can see architecture quality, integration patterns, DevOps discipline, and multi-cloud strategy — all within a controlled, demonstrable environment. It proves that “Enterprise Grade” is a mindset, not just a license tier.
