Actual exam question for Salesforce's Salesforce Certified B2B Solution Architect (Arch-301) exam
Question #: 59
Topic #: 1
[All Salesforce Certified B2B Solution Architect (Arch-301) Questions]

Universal Containers (UC) is using Service Cloud and B2B Commerce to allow resellers the ability to purchase and support farming equipment UC maintains. UC has invested in smart devices which allows that equipment to inform UC when a part becomes faulty. The data from these devices goes to a public cloud solution where every row of sensor data is received every second from every device. There are 100,000 devices on various farms being actively used. The CIO would like this data to be connected to Salesforce in some manner.

What kind of integration method should a Solution Architect suggest to accommodate this need?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Platform Events are a Salesforce-nativefeature that enable apps to communicate inside and outside of Salesforce using an event-driven messaging architecture. An event producer creates an event and adds it onto the event bus, which operates as a queue with a strict chronological order. An eventconsumer subscribes to an event and gets notified when the event is put onto the event bus.

According to3, Platform Events can be used to defineand manage custom notifications within the Salesforce platform and in external apps. They can also be used to integrate Salesforce with external systems and devices in near real-time.

Therefore, a Solution Architect should suggest utilizing Platform Eventsbased on the devices' state change. This way, UC can connect the data from the smart devices to Salesforce in a scalable and reliable manner, without having to poll or query for changes constantly. UC can also use Platform Events to trigger workflows or actions based on the device status, such as creating a case, sending an email, or ordering a replacement part.

Embedding sensor data directly into the Asset record seems too limiting for the scale of data we're talking about, but I can't recall if that's a common approach.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option D with Apex Callouts, but I'm not sure if that can handle the scale of the data coming in. I'll need to think this through a bit more.

I'm a little unsure about this one. There are a lot of devices sending data constantly, so I'm not sure if Platform Events is the best approach. Maybe option B with MuleSoft would be a better fit to handle that volume of data.
