Salesforce

Salesforce runs a proprietary, metadata-driven, multitenant application stack (Superpods, instances, orgs) on its Hyperforce infrastructure spanning its own data centers and leading public clouds, with a single logical multitenant database per instance and stateless app servers layered above it.[2][4][7][10] Around this core, it operates a hybrid data and streaming platform (Ajna Kafka, Hadoop/HDFS, monitoring stacks) and integrates external warehouses like Snowflake for Data Cloud and analytics workloads.[8][17]
