Summary
In this chapter, we learned about why the Salesforce Certified Data Architect credential exists, the exam format, and the profile of a Salesforce Data Architect to truly understand why the concepts behind this exam are useful in your day job. Lastly, we covered this book's learning journey to set the tone for the rest of this book.
In Chapter 2, Data Modeling and Database Design, we will begin our learning journey by revisiting the Salesforce data model, how different objects affect it, as well as touching on concepts such as data skew and ownership skew. We'll cover how to effectively describe the Salesforce data model while considering sharing, record counts, and performance as appropriate.
