10.59Interview scenario
Salesforce may be unavailable for an hour, but we must not lose requests.
Answer:
“I'd decouple intake from processing with durable messaging. The API can accept and persist/publish the work, return 202 where appropriate, and a consumer retries Salesforce independently. I'd monitor queue age/depth and send permanently failing messages to a DLQ.”
Very good.
