# What is Apex?

> Apex is Salesforce's strongly typed, server-side programming language, used for triggers that run when records change, classes that implement business logic and integrations, and tests. Apex runs on the Salesforce platform within its governor limits.

## Why it matters

Apex is powerful and hard to review: logic spread across triggers and classes interacts with Flows and validation rules on the same records, and every class needs test coverage before it can reach production.

## In SyncOnAI 360

SyncOnAI 360 syncs the full source of Apex classes and triggers, shows Apex as logic or code in Apex Logic, refuses edits that would not compile, and lets a class be proposed together with its test.
