Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Using Bulk API to export 1 million records from Salesforce is the best option. Bulk API is a RESTful API that allows you to perform asynchronous operations on large sets of data. You can use Bulk API to create, update, delete, or query millions of records in batches. Bulk API is optimized for performance and scalability, and it can handle complex data loading scenarios.

We practiced a similar question about migrating data, and I feel like custom objects might be necessary if the data structure is unique.

I think leveraging standard account and contact objects makes sense, but I’m a bit confused about how that would handle individual customer data.

The key here is to consider the scale of the migration - millions of customers. I'd recommend going with the standard account and contact objects to keep things simple and scalable.

I think option D is the way to go - the standard account and contact objects are tried and true, and should be able to handle the volume.
