Director, AI & Data Architecture at Salesforce | Author | Enterprise AI

Rohit Bhardwaj is a Director of AI & Data Architecture at Salesforce, where he focuses on enterprise AI, agentic systems, cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, data platforms, security, and large-scale transformation.

Over his career, Rohit has designed and led complex enterprise platforms across AWS, Google Cloud, microservices, real-time data, API ecosystems, resilient distributed systems, and AI-enabled architectures. His work increasingly focuses on the challenges enterprises face as software evolves from deterministic services to AI-native and agentic systems—particularly around reliability, governance, evidence, security, observability, cost, and safe autonomy.

Rohit is the author of System Design with AI Interview Guide: Designing Scalable, Agentic, and Defensible Systems, published by Apress. The book presents a modern approach to system design covering scalability, distributed systems, AI architecture primitives, security, reliability, economics, agentic systems, and real-world architectures including e-commerce, ride sharing, payments, fraud detection, messaging, video streaming, file storage, and search.

Presentations

Real-world Integration case studies and patterns part 1

Building 3rd party integrations require deep understanding of the business problems. You would not want to reinvent the wheel to solve common issues. In this talk we will explore different case studies with patterns which helps solves real world issues. We will start with exploring SOA patterns like Service host, Active service, Transactional service, Workflodize, Edge component. After that we will look at patterns related to performance, scalability and availability like Decoupled invocation, parallel pipelines, Gridable service, Service instance, Virtual Endpoint, and Service watchdog.
Lastly we will dive into security and manageability patterns like Secured message, Secured Infrastructure, Service firewall, Identify provider, and Service Monitor. Message exchange patterns include Request/Reply, Request/Reaction, Inversion of Communications and Saga. In Service consumer pattern we will explore Reservation, Composite front end and client/Server/Service. In Service integration patterns we will explore Service bus, Orchestration, Aggregated reporting. Lastly we will examine Service anti-patterns like Knot, Nanoservice, Transactional integration.

Real-world Integration case studies and patterns part 2

Enterprise Security, Privacy and Data compliance

Data integrity, security, recovery, privacy and regulatory compliance are essential attributes for enterprise implementation. Enterprise customers ask for transparency in how the vendors will provide security programs. Many questions need to be asked for any cloud implementation to policy makers, architects, coders, and testers.
In this presentation, we will explore data security and storage, privacy, and data compliance issues. We will explore the security management in the cloud. The presentation is useful for anyone starting from Executives to developers who are going to implement the Enterprise Applications in both private and public cloud.

Architectural perspectives - principles, concerns and communications

Ever wonder how to step back and analyze the architecture from a different point of views? In this talk, we will explore architectural principles, concerns, and communication. We will discover a core set of architectural principles, which can be used for evaluating the decisions throughout the project life cycle. Then we will examine concerns for the projects by exploring Availability, Scalability, Extensibility, Repeatability, Compatibility, Sustainability, Security and Third party integrations.

Cloud Architectural design patterns blueprints

In this talk, we will explore different cloud computing architecture design patterns blueprints and how you can take advantage of them. We will study cloud patterns for Private and Hybrid cloud deployments, Cloud Services, Common cloud management platforms, Security, Cloud governance, resiliency, Performance, and consumability.
