The Salesforce Certified System Architect is a capstone credential that recognises expertise in off-platform systems, integration, and securing access between systems, along with governance, testing and deployment. Crucially, there is no separate System Architect exam - the credential is automatically granted when you hold four component certifications, in any order: - Platform Developer I - programmatic building with Apex and Lightning Web Components - Platform Integration Architect (formerly Integration Architecture Designer) - end-to-end integration and API design - Platform Identity and Access Management Architect (formerly Identity and Access Management Designer) - single sign-on, identity and access - Platform Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect (formerly Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer) - environment strategy, testing, release and deployment
System Architect is one of the most respected credentials on the Salesforce architect track. It proves you can design integrations and off- platform system connectivity, secure access between systems, and manage governance, testing and deployment - and it is a major step, alongside Application Architect, toward the Certified Technical Architect (CTA). Because it is earned by four component certifications rather than a single exam, it also demonstrates genuine breadth across integration, identity and deployment.
