Last year I gave a talk with Dan Appleman at the 2016 Dreamforce conference and blogged about it here. While it’s only been a few months, it’s time for an update!

In perusing the Salesforce StackExchange recently, I realized that a lot of people post questions on the forum when they run into a CPU limit exception but there isn’t much content published on how to avoid hitting such errors. Furthermore, I also discovered that Adrian Larson developed an unmanaged package for profiling CPU time, amongst other Salesforce limits: the LimitsProfiler.

As a result of both of these things, I’ve published a Q&A on the StackExchange that goes into more detail on how to benchmark CPU time using the LimitsProfiler: “How can you benchmark Apex code to determine what operations consume the most CPU time?” – I hope that you’ll find it useful and share!
