Salesforce Certified Integration Architect — Question 25

A company needs to be able to send data from Salesforce to a home grown system behind a corporate firewall. The data needs to be pushed only one way and doesn't need to be sent in real time. The average volume is 2 million records per day.
What should an integration architect consider when choosing the right option in building the integration between the external system and Salesforce?

Answer options

• A. Due to high volume of records, number of concurrent requests can hit the limit for the REST API call to the external system.
• B. Due to high volume of records, the external system will need to use a BULK API Rest endpoint to connect to Salesforce.
• C. Due to high volume of records, Salesforce will need to make a REST API call to the external system.
• D. Due to high volume of records, a third party integration tool is required to stage records off platform.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using a BULK API Rest endpoint is specifically designed to handle large volumes of records efficiently. Option A is incorrect as it discusses REST API request limits, while C suggests Salesforce needs to call the external system, which contradicts the one-way requirement. Option D is not necessary as the BULK API can effectively manage the data transfer without additional third-party tools.
