EDIT <\/strong>: Despite the exciting title, I stand corrected: Even when Custom Metadata records are retrieved with SOQL Queries, these are not included in the governor limit as documented here<\/a>: \u201ccustom metadata records can have unlimited SOQL queries\u201d. Thank you to everyone that came to me to let me know.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We all have this kind of project where some part of the application is close to the limit of allowed SOQL queries. Spring \u201921 brings us a simple and easy way to remove some of them, let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Getting Custom Metadata\u00a0records<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Using Custom Metadata Types is a great way to store configuration information for your app. It can be configured and deployed easily by an administrator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Using it in your code requires you to retrieve this information. And today the way to do it is just to query the Custom Metadata records like you would do for any regular sObject:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
