A practical architecture and implementation guide for consuming Salesforce Change Data Capture events with MuleSoft while designing replay, idempotency, recovery, and downstream processing deliberately.
Read article →A practical architecture pattern for isolating failed integration work, preserving appropriate recovery context, and enabling safe replay without turning transient failures into permanent data loss.
Read article →A practical architecture guide to API governance across design standards, ownership, contracts, security policies, traffic controls, observability and lifecycle management.
Read article →Experience, Process and System APIs are architectural responsibilities, not a requirement to add three network hops to every integration.
Read article →A production architecture guide to protecting event consumers and downstream systems when event arrival rates exceed processing capacity.
Read article →Event producers and consumers evolve independently. This deep dive explores additive change, semantic compatibility, versioning and migration without turning the event bus into a coordination bottleneck.
Read article →A production design for consuming high-volume Salesforce Change Data Capture events without depending on the 72-hour event-bus window: durable handoff, replay checkpoints, sequencing, parallel processing, backpressure and recoverable error handling.
Read article →A practical architecture guide to preventing duplicate business effects when APIs, events, batches, and recovery workflows are retried or replayed.
Read article →A practical architecture for tracing business transactions across APIs, events, queues and downstream systems without confusing logs with observability.
Read article →A practical architecture guide to reliable event publication and consumption when business state, brokers, databases, and external systems cannot share one atomic transaction.
Read article →A practical architecture for consuming Salesforce CDC and Platform Events reliably, with replay checkpoints, idempotency, recovery paths, observability, and downstream failure handling.
Read article →Retries are only one recovery mechanism. This deep dive separates retry, replay and reprocessing and shows how to design each without creating duplicate business effects.
Read article →A practical guide to choosing MuleSoft processing patterns for large datasets, including batch jobs, aggregation, concurrency, memory, API limits, failure recovery, and observability.
Read article →A practical introduction to MuleSoft Object Store for watermarks, replay state, tokens, and lightweight application state—and when a database is the better design.
Read article →A practical guide to choosing Parallel For Each or Batch Processing based on payload size, synchronous completion, memory, concurrency, and record-level recovery needs.
Read article →Rate limits protect consumption over a time window; burst protection addresses sudden traffic. Understand the architectural distinction before choosing an API policy.
Read article →A practical framework for choosing between retry, replay, dead-letter queues, and an Error Hospital based on failure semantics, recovery needs, and operational complexity.
Read article →Salesforce Pub/Sub API is pull-based. Use its event-request model as a real backpressure mechanism instead of building an ever-growing consumer backlog.
