I need to develop a system that is listening to the changes happened with SalesForce objects and transfers them to my end.

Initially I considered SalesForce Streaming API that allows exactly that - create a push topic that subscribes to objects notifications and later have a set of clients that are reading them using long polling.

However such approach doesn't guarantee durability and reliable delivery of notifications - which I am in need.

What will be the architecture allowing to implement the same functionality in reliable way?

One approach I have in mind is create a Force.com applications that uses SalesForce triggers to subscribe to notifications and later just sends them using HTTPS to the cloud or my Data Server. Will this be a valid option - or are there any better ones?

  • didn't quite follow on what could be a good workaround for reliability issues with salesforce streaming api? Could you summarize? – Andy Dufresne Dec 02 '14 at 11:29
