Abstract

The article discusses Salesforce operates in a multitenant environment where strict governor limits ensure fair resource allocation among organizations. Synchronous operations face stringent constraints: 100 SOQL queries, 150 DML statements, 6 MB heap size, and 10,000 milliseconds CPU time per transaction. When business requirements exceed these limits, asynchronous processing becomes essential, offering doubled governor limits: 200 SOQL queries, 300 DML statements, 12 MB heap size, and 60,000 milliseconds CPU time. Salesforce provides four primary asynchronous mechanisms: Future Methods for simple operations, Queueable Apex for complex workflows with job chaining, Batch Apex for large data volumes, and Scheduled Apex for recurring time-based operations. This research examines these asynchronous patterns, comparing their performance characteristics and establishing best practices for optimal resource management.
