Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 17

Universal Containers (UC) would like to build a Human Resources application on Salesforce to manage employee details, payroll, and hiring efforts. To adequately maintain and store the relevant data, the application will need to leverage 45 custom objects. In addition to this, UC expects roughly 20,000 API calls into Salesforce from an on-premise application dally.
Which license type should a data architect recommend that best fits these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Lightning Platform Plus
• B. Service Cloud
• C. Lightning External Apps Starter
• D. Lightning Platform Starter

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Lightning Platform Plus license is the most appropriate choice as it supports a high number of custom objects and allows for extensive API calls, which aligns with UC's needs. The Service Cloud license is focused on customer service functionalities and doesn't cater to the custom object requirement. The Lightning External Apps Starter and Lightning Platform Starter licenses offer limited capabilities that wouldn't meet UC's demands for custom objects and API usage.
