This primer covers testing error handling for Salesforce integrations when API limits are reached during large batch processing. It focuses on verifying retry mechanisms, alerting workflows, and recovery strategies to ensure data integrity and system resilience.

Core information
  • Large data operations exceeding 2,000 records should use Bulk API 2.0 to manage asynchronous workflows and avoid synchronous API limits.
More details and nuances
  • Testing in a full copy sandbox with production-like data volumes is required to identify record locking errors that do not appear in smaller environments.
