Is it possible to build an app that uses Salesforce as its data source?

Ask us anything How do I?

I’m thinking through the best way to build an internal tool using an organization’s Salesforce data. I’ve only used WeWeb to build apps with data in Supabase before, so I’m unsure what this process would look like or how costly it may be to fetch data from an alternative data source.

The organization is quite large, so although there may not be many users initially, I can see there being upwards of 100 concurrent users one to two years down the road.

Has anyone here had experience using a CRM platform as a data source for a WeWeb app before? I would appreciate any insights.

Hey! I think it should be allright, but I’d suggest mixing a indipendent backend of some sort in between, just in case you need some extra functionality, this will “glue” it all together pretty well. As for Salesforce, I think if it has a REST API, you’re golden. What I probably would do is some sort of mixin of Supabase Edge Functions / Postgres Functions and Salesforce REST. Just in case you need something fancy.
