Today, we sit down and talk with Ross Belmont, the Director of Product Management at Salesforce, about his products – Salesforce Connect and the new DynamoDB Connector.

Salesforce Connect provides data virtualization, surfacing structured data inside the Salesforce UI and declarative tools experiences, even though data resides outside the four walls of Salesforce. Their vision is to get to a point where it no longer matters that external objects are external.

Ross also shares the current status of DynamoDB coming in pilot. Their team is currently working with Amazon Web Services, extending Salesforce Connect ideas over to Amazon's DynamoDB, a super high-volume, NoSQL datastore.
