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?
To send a high volume of records (2 million per day) from Salesforce to an external system behind a firewall, a third-party integration tool is recommended. This tool can stage and manage the data transfer efficiently, ensuring scalability and reliability, without hitting concurrency limits or requiring real-time transfers.
How can you use Bulk API if its a push from SF ? Shd this not be using ESB
The correct answer is D. Bulk API is used to push/ extract data to salesforce. In this example we want to send data from salesforce to the on premise system, and due to the high data volume, an ETL/ 3rd party would be the ideal solution here
The way the question is formulated can be misleading - that's probably you recommend answer D. But with Bulk API, large number of records can be transfered from SF to the on-prem systems.
BULK API data is PUSHED from salesforce to external, via a pull request from the external system (which works easily through the firewalls etc). I think the pull/push terminology is just a little confusing.
