Data Architect exam overview
The Data Architect certification is focused on gathering requirements and designing solutions on the Salesforce platform that make effective use of the data storage capabilities of the platform. This includes understanding the extensibility of the Salesforce data model, handling large data volumes, moving data in and out of the platform, and enforcing good data hygiene.
