Hyperforce的幕后花絮。构建公共云的Salesforce的基础设施

Salesforce has been running cloud infrastructure for over two decades, bringing companies and their customers together. When Salesforce first started out in 1999, the world was very different; back then, the only practical way to provide our brand of Software-As-A-Service was to run everything yourself — not just the software, but the servers, storage, networking devices, cooling, etc.

二十多年来，Salesforce一直在运行云基础设施，将公司和他们的客户联系在一起。当Salesforce在1999年首次创业时，世界是非常不同的；那时，提供我们的软件即服务品牌的唯一实际方法是自己运行一切--不仅是软件，还有服务器、存储、网络设备、冷却等。

Of course, in the years since then, massive changes have swept the industry. In recent times, companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google have begun offering infrastructure as a service (IaaS), providing all of the same infrastructure components (servers, storage, networking, etc.) in an abstracted, self-service way. These days, nearly everyone who runs web software at scale leverages IaaS in some way (including most of our customers, too!).

当然，在那之后的几年里，巨大的变化已经席卷了整个行业。最近，像亚马逊、微软和谷歌这样的公司已经开始提供基础设施即服务（IaaS），以一种抽象的、自我服务的方式提供所有相同的基础设施组件（服务器、存储、网络等等）。如今，几乎所有大规模运行网络软件的人都以某种方式利用IaaS（也包括我们的大多数客户！）。

So, in order to leverage the scale and agility of the world’s leading public cloud platforms, our Technology and Products team has worked together over the past few years to build a new generation of infrastructure platform for Salesforce — one that uses cloud-native tools, deployment patterns, security, and processes, and is available across all of our product lines. We call this architecture Hyperforce.

因此，为了利用世界领先的公共云平台的规模和敏捷性，我们的技术和产品团队在过去几年中共同合作，为Salesforce建立了新一代的基础设施平台--一个使用云原生工具、部署模式、安全性和流程的平台，并可用于我们所有的产品线。我们把这种架构称为Hyperforce。

Hyperforce isn’t just an incremental evolution of our infrastructure — it’s a complete step function change that will bring the most modern, scalable, and secure development practices to every engineering team at Salesforce. At its core, Hyperforce is based on five key architectural principles: Immutable Infrastructure, Multi-Availability-Zone Design, a Zero Trust approach to security, t...
