   A company is integrating an external e-commerce platform with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Sales orders must be created in Finance and Operations, but the e-commerce platform does not require an immediate response. However, the integration must handle occasional spikes of 1,000 orders per minute without losing data. Which approach best balances performance and reliability?

   • ASend each order as a message to Azure Service Bus and have a batch job in Finance and Operations process the queue.
   • BExpose a custom SOAP endpoint that processes orders synchronously with a longer timeout.
   • CCreate a synchronous OData service that the e-commerce platform calls for each order and wait for the response.
   • DUse the Data Management Framework to import a file that the e-commerce platform uploads once per hour.

   • BUse an OData endpoint to create the customer record and wait for the HTTP response.
   • CUse a custom service that writes to a staging table and triggers an asynchronous processing batch.
   • DUse the Data Management Framework with an asynchronous recurring job that imports customer records every 5 minutes.
