2. Maintain Performance: By capping usage, limits prevent runaway transactions from slowing down your org.
3. Stability: Limits help maintain system stability and prevent one user’s actions from negatively impacting others.
4. Bulk Operations: Design your code with bulk operations in mind to minimize the risk of hitting limits.
5. Efficient Queries: Optimize your SOQL queries to fetch only the data you need, reducing query count.
6. Limit Monitoring: Salesforce provides tools to monitor your usage and proactively manage limits.

🛡️ Champions of Code Efficiency::

Understanding and respecting Governor Limits is key to crafting efficient and reliable Salesforce solutions. By embracing these limits, you contribute to a healthier platform and a more satisfying user experience.
