Not all Apex needs to be abstract and layered—but when complexity grows, design patterns are how I keep things clean.
The patterns I reach for again and again:
Trigger Handler Pattern: One trigger per object, always. Handled via a framework class.
Service Layer Pattern: Keeps logic centralized and testable
Strategy Pattern (with interfaces): For dynamically applying rules based on context (e.g. by Record Type or membership category)
These patterns don’t just organize code—they support growth. When you’re managing dozens of Flows and classes across multiple business units, structure isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s survival.
