Salesforce unified its fragmented platform layers (data, agents, applications) into Agentforce 360, a single integrated architecture. The transformation involved building Data 360 as a universal data foundation with unified ontology modeling, centralized freshness control, and consistent retrieval across all surfaces. Key engineering challenges included scaling metadata systems, harmonizing heterogeneous data sources, building agent orchestration primitives while APIs evolved, and maintaining four-nine availability during rapid platform transformation. The architecture centralizes policy enforcement, improves RAG retrieval through hybrid indexing and context intelligence, and provides consistent governance across all applications and AI-driven workloads.
