C is good too, but External Objects can be tricky.

Nobuko 1 month ago

Got it. What about C?

Shawna 1 month ago

Exactly. We don’t need full tables for read-only access.

Peggy 2 months ago

A is too complex for just viewing data.

Nobuko 2 months ago

I'm confused. Why not A? It sounds more robust.

Shawna 2 months ago

I agree, B keeps it straightforward. Just URLs, no heavy lifting.

Wait, can we really use External Objects like that?

I think C is better for performance.

Option B sounds like the simplest solution.

Tijuana 3 months ago

I vaguely recall something about syncing files to the local filesystem, but that seems overly complicated for just viewing data in Salesforce.

Linette 3 months ago

I feel like option C could be a good choice since it mentions external objects, but I'm not entirely clear on the differences between that and using Heroku Connect.

Nikita 4 months ago

I think option B sounds familiar, but I'm a bit confused about how the URLs would work with Salesforce. Did we cover that in our practice questions?

Eden 4 months ago

I remember we discussed using Heroku Connect for syncing data, but I'm not sure if it's the best option here since the client only wants view access.

Ashanti 4 months ago

I vaguely recall that syncing files directly to Salesforce isn't the best practice. Option D seems risky with local filesystem management.

Dominque 5 months ago

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to decide between using External Objects and Connect. I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not entirely confident.

Dianne 6 months ago

I think option B sounds familiar because it involves just storing URLs, which might be simpler than replicating files.

Roxane 6 months ago

I remember we discussed using Heroku Connect for syncing data, but I'm not sure if it's the best option here since the client only wants view access.
