Only good things come from technical architects getting together to paint the future-right-now of "Buy AND Build" for the software world 🤩. I spoke with my fellow nerds Benjamin Rust and David Baliles yesterday at Salesforce Tower - Atlanta to show how combining the strong foundation of Salesforce with the infinite extension of Heroku 2.0 yields a remarkable duo: ✅ Enterprise AI in 60 seconds (mouse clicks OR code) ✅ Secure and compliant out of the box ✅ Extend with code in any language ❌ Kubernetes configuration ❌ Infrastructure as code ❌ Vendor lock-in Salesforce can do that? Yes, with Heroku. https://lnkd.in/edicNGAJ

Are you paying tens of thousands a year to back up your Salesforce org? I've been through the full Salesforce backup journey: manual Weekly Export to a file server, then a commercial solution at $3-5 per user per month, and finally building my own. After running a custom bash/Python backup in production for nearly three years, I rewrote it from scratch in Java with Spring Boot — fixing everything I'd learned the hard way about error handling, file deduplication, and checkpoint resume. Then I open-sourced it. Heimdall is a self-hosted Salesforce backup that runs on AWS for $5-15/month. It uses the Bulk API, stores data in S3 and PostgreSQL, and includes a web GUI for browsing history, viewing field-level diffs, and related records. Some highlights: - ContentVersion deduplication saved 320 GB (38%) on an org with 3.5M files - Checkpoint resume survives crashes and container restarts - The database auto-starts/stops to minimize costs - Record archiving with configurable criteria - One-command AWS deployment via CloudFormation It's AGPL-3.0 licensed — free to use, modify, and deploy for your own org. GitHub: https://lnkd.in/deeRHpA7 Full writeup: https://lnkd.in/dEU4_b_K If you're running a Salesforce org and want to stop overpaying for backups, give it a look.

Claude Code pro-tip: every time you "always allow" a command, Claude adds it to that project's settings.json. You should regularly curate some of these into ~/.claude/settings.json
