Salesforce Certified Heroku Architecture Designer Exam Questions

Question 6 of 60

A client wants to add CPU-intensive video processing functionality to their Heroku web application.
Which two strategies should an Architect recommend for implementing this functionality? (Choose two.)

Add a new process type for worker dynos that pull video processing jobs from a queue.

Attach a video processing add-on from the Heroku Elements Marketplace to the application.

Delegate video processing tasks to the app's staging version to remove load from the production app.

Divide each video processing task across multiple web dynos to mitigate added CPU load.

Correct Answer: A, B

Question 7 of 60

Universal Containers has a Heroku app that uses several third-party add-ons. They now need to enforce data privacy and be compliant with General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What should an Architect advise UC regarding data residency in this scenario?

Heroku does not control where add-on providers store data.

Heroku support can configure add-ons for specific data residency needs.

Heroku guarantees the physical location of its control surface APIs.

Data residency for add-ons is covered under Salesforce's GDPR compliance.

Correct Answer: A

Heroku does not control where add-on providers store data. This is because Heroku operates in various regions but does not manage the physical storage of data for third-party add-ons. Since these add-ons are managed by external providers, they have their own data residency policies and practices, which are outside the control of Heroku. Therefore, the enforcement of data privacy and GDPR compliance will heavily rely on the third-party providers' compliance measures.

Question 8 of 60

An app uses a queue of worker dynos to perform complex image processing, but the worker dynos are occasionally running out of memory when performing the processing. All of their dynos are currently standard-1x dynos.
What should an Architect recommend in this scenario?

Add additional worker dynos.

Break up the image processing across multiple dynos.

Move the app to a Private Space.

Change the type of dynos to standard-2x.

Correct Answer: D

Changing the type of dynos to standard-2x is the recommended approach. The issue at hand is that the worker dynos are running out of memory, which means they require more resources for the complex image processing tasks. Upgrading to a higher capacity dyno, such as standard-2x, provides additional memory and CPU, which should address the memory constraints without necessarily needing to refactor the application to run on multiple dynos or move to a different infrastructure.

Question 9 of 60

A client wants to use Heroku to build a data bridge between Salesforce and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Which combination of Heroku features should an Architect recommend to secure the connection between Heroku and GCP?

Heroku Shield Private Spaces and Heroku Shield Connect

Heroku Private Spaces and Private Space VPN Connections

Heroku Private Spaces and Private Space Peering

Heroku Shield Private Spaces and Internal Routing

Correct Answer: B

Heroku Private Spaces and Private Space VPN Connections are the appropriate combination to secure the connection between Heroku and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Heroku Private Spaces provides a secure and isolated network environment for applications, while Private Space VPN connections enable a secure site-to-site VPN connection compatible with Google Cloud VPN, ensuring secure communication between Heroku and GCP infrastructure.

Question 10 of 60

Part of a client's design is the ability to easily share between two applications running on Heroku.
What should an Architect recommend?

Attach a single storage add-on, such as Heroku Postgres, to both applications.

Create Foreign Data Wrappers to expose the tables from one database to another.

Provision Heroku Connect to sync the data into a custom object in Salesforce.

Provision Apache Kafka on Heroku to easily stream the data between the two apps.

Correct Answer: A
