A company needs to be able to send data from Salesforce to a home grown system behind a corporate firewall. The data needs to be pushed only one way and doesn't need to be sent in real time. The average volume is 2 million records per day.
What should an integration architect consider when choosing the right option in building the integration between the external system and Salesforce?

I think using BULK API is the best option for this volume.

REST API calls might hit limits, so better be cautious.

Wait, can Salesforce even handle that many records at once?

I agree, BULK API is definitely the way to go here!

A third party tool sounds like overkill for just pushing data.

If I recall correctly, making a REST API call from Salesforce to the external system might not be the best option due to the volume.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the BULK API could be the right choice for handling large data volumes efficiently.

I think we practiced a similar question where we discussed using a third-party tool for staging records. It might be necessary here too.

I remember that with such a high volume, we might hit limits on concurrent requests with the REST API, so that could be a concern.

This is a good one. I like how it's testing our understanding of Salesforce integration patterns. I think I'd start by considering the BULK API, as that seems like the best fit for the high-volume, one-way data transfer requirement.

Okay, got it. The key here is to avoid hitting any API limits on either side. I reckon a third-party integration tool might be the way to go, as that could help stage the data off-platform and manage the high volume.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The requirement to push data one-way behind a corporate firewall adds an extra layer of complexity. I'll need to think carefully about the security and connectivity implications.

This seems like a pretty straightforward integration problem, but the high volume of records is definitely something to consider. I think I'd start by looking at the Salesforce BULK API as an option to handle the data transfer efficiently.

I wonder if they're going to hire a team of supercomputers to handle all that data. Maybe we should just use a fleet of carrier pigeons instead.

C) Due to high volume of records, the external system will need to use a BULK API Rest endpoint to connect to salesforce.

A) Due to high volume of records, number of concurrent requests can hit the limit for the REST API call to external system.

With 2 million records a day, the external system better have a firewall the size of the Great Wall of China!

Option D? Really? Salesforce making the API calls? That's like asking a hamster to pull a freight train.

I'm not sure, but I know one thing - I'm not the one who has to deal with 2 million records a day! That's a lot of data.

I'm not sure, but I think option B could also work if we need to stage records off platform to manage the high volume of data.
LE

Hmm, I would have gone with C. The BULK API is perfect for high-volume data transfers.

Definitely option B. A third-party integration tool is the way to go for handling that kind of volume.
DA

I agree with Gilberto, option C seems like the most suitable option for this scenario. It will prevent hitting the limit for the REST API call.
GI

I think option C is the best choice because the BULK API Rest endpoint is designed for handling large volumes of data efficiently.
