Salesforce Certified Heroku Architecture Designer — Question 35

Universal Containers wants to limit the total cost of their Heroku usage while they're getting started on the platform. To accomplish this, they are considering replacing certain add-ons with comparable open-source components, but the development team doesn't want to lose access to certain features that the add-ons provide.
Which option should an Architect recommend for reducing add-on costs without affecting feature availability?

Answer options

• A. Remove aliases for high-cost add-ons.
• B. Share a single instance of a compatible paid add-on across multiple applications.
• C. Remove data store add-ons from the staging and development versions of the applications.
• D. Migrate add-ons to free plans.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because removing data store add-ons from staging and development environments reduces costs without sacrificing features in production. Options A and B do not effectively lower costs while maintaining feature availability, and D may lead to a loss of necessary features if free plans do not provide the same capabilities as the paid add-ons.
