What is Force.com?
A Platform as a Service (PaaS) and multi-tenant cloud development platform
designed to simplify the development and deployment of cloud-based applications
and websites. Developers can create apps and websites through the cloud IDE

Basically a social and mobile app development platform on the cloud!
Architecture of Force.com
➢ Infrastructure - Representing the servers and the data centers
supporting the platform
➢ Database - Comprises both business data and metadata
➢ Application logic - is mostly workflow logic. It is the application
specific coordination of domain and infrastructure components
according to the requirements of that particular application.
➢ Controller - responsible for controlling the flow of the
application execution. Responsible for returning a response to a
request made to an application
➢ APIs - External programmatic access. To make client side web
service calls through Javascript represented in the view
➢ Views - Components for defining the User Interface of the app.
Services stack
● Architectural stack sits on top of the stack of cross cutting services.
● Any service canintersect with the architectural stack
● While the Architectural stack may be static, the service stack is scalable and dynamic, hence adding additional services becomes easy!
● Combination of
architectural layers,
intersecting services
and security features
along with chatter
which enables social
capability
● Features or
capabilities crosses
architectural layers
● Not only click and go
dev but programming
functionality can be
injected by a developer

THERE IS NO REAL DEBUGGER hence debugging process becomes very slow and you have to manually edit the debug logs by creating debug requests.
