Architected for Scale & Limits

Unlike standard development, ISV development requires strict adherence to Salesforce Governor Limits. We architect solutions with robust bulkification, asynchronous processing (Batch/Future/Queueable Apex), and optimized SOQL to ensure your app runs flawlessly in multi-tenant enterprise orgs containing millions of records.

Flawless Security Review Navigation

Failing the Salesforce Security Review can delay your launch by months. We utilize strict 'Security by Design' principles, enforcing CRUD/FLS checks, protecting against SOQL injection/XSS, and preparing comprehensive False Positive documents to ensure a smooth approval process.

Modern UI/UX with Lightning Design System

We build apps that look and feel native to Salesforce. By leveraging Lightning Web Components (LWC) and the Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS), we create intuitive, responsive interfaces that maximize user adoption and minimize training time.

Package Architecture

Choosing the Right Packaging Model

Depending on your business model - whether you are an ISV selling software or an enterprise streamlining internal deployments - we architect your solution using the appropriate Salesforce Metadata API packaging model.

📦

Developer Sandbox

Isolated environments for individual developers to write Apex and LWC without affecting other team members or production metadata.

Partial Copy Sandbox

Includes a sample of your production data. Perfect for User Acceptance Testing (UAT), integration testing, and training.

Full Sandbox

Exact replica of production data and metadata. Used for final performance optimization, load testing, and staging deployments.

AppExchange Development FAQs

Common questions about building and publishing apps on Salesforce, answered by our enterprise architects.

What is Salesforce AppExchange App Development?
Salesforce AppExchange App Development is the process of building custom software applications on the Salesforce platform, intended to be published on the AppExchange marketplace. These apps (usually Managed Packages) extend Salesforce CRM capabilities, integrate third-party systems, or provide industry-specific solutions.
What is the difference between Managed and Unlocked Packages?
Managed Packages are designed for ISVs to sell apps on the AppExchange; they protect intellectual property (Apex code is hidden), enforce licensing, and support automatic push upgrades. Unlocked Packages are designed for internal enterprise deployments, allowing modular development while keeping code visible and modifiable by the subscriber org.
How long does the Salesforce Security Review take?
The official Salesforce Security Review process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks after submission. However, preparation is key. Kizzy Consulting performs extensive pre-scans (Checkmarx/PMD) and architecture audits during development to ensure first-time approval, preventing months of costly delays.
What is a Salesforce Sandbox and why is it important?
A Salesforce Sandbox is an isolated copy of your production environment used for development, testing, and training without risking live data. Proper sandbox strategy (using Developer, Partial Copy, and Full sandboxes alongside Scratch Orgs) is critical for CI/CD pipelines, safe deployments, and maintaining code quality.
What is a Scratch Org?
A Scratch Org is a dedicated, configurable, and short-lived Salesforce environment that you can quickly spin up when starting a new project or feature branch. They are heavily used in modern Salesforce DevOps and source-driven development to ensure developers have a clean environment that doesn't conflict with others.
Can you integrate external APIs into an AppExchange App?
Yes. We heavily utilize Apex REST/SOAP callouts to integrate external platforms (AWS, Azure, Payment Gateways, ERPs). For AppExchange apps, all external endpoints must be documented and undergo specific security scrutiny regarding authentication, data transit, and storage.
What is a Partner Developer Edition (PDE) org?
A PDE org is a specific type of Salesforce environment used exclusively by ISVs to create and upload Managed Packages. Unlike standard developer orgs, it has higher limits and specific packaging capabilities required for AppExchange distribution.
How do I support my customers after the app is published?
ISVs use the License Management App (LMA) to track subscriptions and the Subscriber Support Console to log into customer orgs (with permission) for troubleshooting. Kizzy Consulting provides managed support services to handle post-launch maintenance, bug fixes, and version upgrades.
Can you build AI or Agentforce features into my app?
Yes. As AI experts, Kizzy Consulting can integrate Salesforce Agentforce, Einstein AI, or external LLMs (like OpenAI) into your AppExchange app. This allows your app to offer features like natural language querying, automated record summaries, and predictive analytics.
What are Salesforce Governor Limits?
Because Salesforce operates on a multi-tenant architecture, Governor Limits are strict execution bounds placed on resources (like SOQL queries, CPU time, and heap size) to ensure no single org monopolizes the server. Expert ISV developers bulkify code to ensure apps never hit these limits, even with massive data volumes.
