Salesforce Developer Interview: Account & Contact Creation with Advanced Error Handling

In this video, we explore a real-world Salesforce Developer interview scenario where an Apex service class creates an Account and related Contact in a single transaction and implements a robust error-handling and logging mechanism. The scenario demonstrates: ✅ Apex Service Class design ✅ Account & Contact creation in one transaction ✅ Input validation & custom exceptions ✅ Database.insert() with USER_MODE ✅ Exception handling using try/catch ✅ Publishing errors through Platform Events ✅ Platform Event Trigger for centralized error logging ✅ Storing error details in a custom Error_Log__c object ✅ Capturing exception type, message, line number & stack trace ✅ Re-throwing the original exception to the caller ✅ Preventing logging failures from replacing the original business exception ✅ Designing reusable and production-oriented Apex This is a great example of the type of complex scenario-based thinking expected from experienced Salesforce Developers in interviews. 🎯 The focus isn't just on writing Apex code — it's on understanding the complete transaction, exception flow, asynchronous logging, and production-level design.
