Session Summary by Einstein: The recent session delved into best practices for asynchronous processing within the Salesforce platform, focusing on reliability, automation, resilience, and the Salesforce Well-Architected framework. The discussion highlighted the importance of validating use cases for asynchronous processing, the limitations inherent to Salesforce's multi-tenant architecture, and the need for efficient design to prevent resource hogging and to ensure fair usage across organizations. Strategies for large scale outbound integrations using platform events and robust middleware were recommended over asynchronous Apex, and the session emphasized the significance of monitoring asynchronous processes to quickly identify and address failures. The new decision guide on the Salesforce Architects website was introduced, offering in-depth insights on these topics and more.
Key Takeaways by Einstein:
• Asynchronous processing is not a catch-all solution and should be applied thoughtfully, considering Salesforce's multi-tenant architecture and platform limits.
• For large scale outbound integrations, the use of platform events and robust middleware is preferred to asynchronous Apex for better scalability and performance.
• Effective monitoring of asynchronous processes is crucial to detect failures promptly, using tools such as custom queries on the AsyncApexJob object and Salesforce's proactive monitoring alerts.
