I recall that using a scheduled dataloader might not be ideal for real-time scenarios. So, I think options A and C are more aligned with what UC needs.

Augustine 6 months ago

I feel like we practiced a similar question where scheduled jobs were mentioned. I wonder if option D would be efficient enough for their needs.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Change Data Capture could be useful too. It might keep Salesforce updated without needing to pull data constantly.

Rozella 7 months ago

I remember we discussed the importance of real-time data access in our last class. I think option C could be the best choice since it allows for on-demand retrieval.
