Sure, bulkifying code refers to the practice of designing Apex code to handle large volumes of data in a single operation, rather than processing records one at a time. The primary goal of bulkifying code is to minimize the number of database operations and API calls needed to complete a task, which can improve performance and avoid hitting governor limits.

For example, if a developer needs to update a large number of records in Salesforce, writing a loop that updates each record individually could quickly hit governor limits or cause performance issues. A bulkified version of this code would instead operate on a collection of records and use a single DML statement to update all records at once.

In summary, bulkifying code can improve the efficiency, scalability, and maintainability of Apex code by reducing the number of database operations and API calls needed to process large volumes of data. It's an important best practice for Salesforce developers to follow to ensure that their code works efficiently within the limits of the platform.
