Simple Explanation Asynchronous Apex is like sending work to a background worker while users continue their tasks. When to Use Async Apex Large data processing...
When Salesforce consumes external events (for example, Platform Events published by another system), your integration logic must be resilient.

Choosing the right one impacts performance, reliability, governor limit management, and the overall user experience. In this guide, we’ll break down their strengths, ideal use cases, and limitations. You’ll also...
