Problem

Explain how you would structure a data pipeline for integrating various data sources for Salesforce.

Discuss how you would ingest batch files, APIs, databases, and event streams; normalize and validate records; handle identity resolution, schema evolution, incremental loads, retries, and backfills; and publish data to Salesforce objects and Salesforce Data Cloud. Cover orchestration, observability, security, idempotency, data quality, and the trade-offs between MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, Salesforce APIs, Platform Events, and external processing systems.
