The last decade has been one of significant transformation in the history of Lightning components for Salesforce Service Cloud and Communities, driven by the need for scalable, efficient, and customizable solutions for cloud-based customer service landscapes. Salesforce's shift from Visualforce to the Lightning framework brought modern UI components to the equation, resulting in better performance and a more enhanced user experience. Lightning components enable smooth integration with Service Cloud, empowering customer service teams with customizable workspaces, real-time access to information, and automation features. Salesforce Communities have also been supported by Lightning components in the guise of enhanced self-service capabilities and more interactive, user-centric experiences for customers and agents. Despite these developments, several research gaps persist.
