Abstract: The Salesforce platform has emerged as a cornerstone for modern enterprises seeking to manage customer relationships, streamline operations, and leverage data-driven insights. As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid infrastructures that combine on-premises systems with cloud services, ensuring scalability, resilience, and performance of Salesforce deployments has become critical. This review explores strategies for designing, implementing, and managing Salesforce CRM in hybrid environments, emphasizing performance optimization, security, compliance, and automation. Key considerations include efficient data management, middleware integration, containerization, and CI/CD-driven deployment pipelines, which collectively enhance operational efficiency and reduce human error. The review also examines industry-specific applications, highlighting use cases in financial services, healthcare, and retail, where hybrid Salesforce ecosystems deliver high availability, regulatory compliance, and responsive user experiences. Security strategies, such as role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, encryption, and continuous monitoring, are evaluated for their effectiveness in mitigating risks associated with hybrid deployments. Furthermore, the review identifies challenges including integration complexity, cost optimization, skills gaps, and performance bottlenecks, and provides actionable mitigation strategies to address these concerns. Emerging trends, including AI-driven analytics, predictive scaling, microservices architectures, and serverless deployments, are discussed as enablers of next-generation CRM resilience and operational agility. By synthesizing best practices, technical insights, and practical guidance, this review serves as a comprehensive resource for enterprises seeking to optimize Salesforce CRM on hybrid infrastructures, ensuring business continuity, enhanced customer engagement, and long-term strategic advantage.
