Board Insights & Common Pitfalls
Generalized Judge Questions
- Data Modeling: “Why did you choose a Lookup relationship between Waste Profile and Location instead of Master-Detail? How do you handle a profile applicable to multiple sites?”
- LDV Scalability: “With 40 million pickup records generated annually, how will your data model remain performant? What is your granular archiving strategy for these records?”
- Integration Strategy: “How does the system route requests to the correct regional logistics system (out of the four available) when a customer schedules a pickup?”
- Document Migration: “Walk me through the end-to-end technical flow for migrating 200,000 legacy PDF documents into Salesforce Content objects.”
- Security: “You used Field-Level Security to hide financial data from specialists. If they export data via the API, can they still see it? Why not use a separate object with restricted sharing?”
Common Mistakes
- Missing Junction Objects: Failing to account for the many-to-many relationship between Locations and Waste Profiles.
- Async Pattern for Scheduling: Using Fire-and-Forget for pickup scheduling when the requirement implies an immediate confirmation number (requiring Request-Response).
- Hand-waving PDF Migration: Proposing a simple “upload” without a strategy for parsing unstructured data or linking it to the migrated records.
- License Mismatch: Choosing Customer Community when requirements like External Account Hierarchy or complex manual sharing necessitate Customer Community Plus.
Strong Patterns
- Middleware-Driven Routing: Using an ESB (MuleSoft) to abstract the four regional logistics systems and two ERPs, providing a single endpoint for Salesforce.
- Platform Events for GPS: Handling high-frequency (60-second) truck location pings via Platform Events to avoid API concurrency limits.
- OCR/Parser for Data Migration: Proposing a specific document parsing layer (e.g., Amazon Textract or DocParser) before uploading to ContentVersion.
Strategic Insights
- The “Least Privilege” Test: Greenhouse Recycling heavily tests the candidate’s ability to restrict “Financial Data” while maintaining operational visibility for specialists.
- Global vs. Local Autonomy: Requires a strong Governance model (Center of Excellence) to balance regional logistics requirements with global reporting needs.
