Why It Matters
Well-Architected is Salesforce’s answer to AWS Well-Architected and Azure’s Cloud Adoption Framework. It organizes architectural best practices into three pillars — Trusted (security, reliability), Easy (usability, maintainability), and Adaptable (scalability, flexibility).
For architects preparing for CTA or designing enterprise solutions, this framework provides the vocabulary and structure for justifying architectural decisions. It’s also what Salesforce’s own review boards use when evaluating designs.

- Trailhead Architect modules — learning-focused, less reference
