   A financial services firm needs to notify an external risk-assessment system immediately whenever a new case is created in Salesforce. The external system must receive the notification within seconds, and the integration must be resilient to temporary outages of the external system. Which technology should the architect choose?

   • AChange Data Capture (CDC) to stream case changes to the external system.
   • BOutbound Messaging with a SOAP callout to the external system.
   • CA scheduled Apex job that queries new cases every minute and calls the external system.
   • DPlatform Events with a subscriber that calls the external system via REST API.

   A company needs to integrate Salesforce with a legacy system that only supports synchronous SOAP calls. The integration requires real-time data validation and the legacy system is slow, with response times of up to 10 seconds. The company wants to avoid holding up Salesforce transactions. Which approach should the architect recommend?

   • AUse synchronous Apex to make the SOAP callout directly in the trigger.
   • BUse asynchronous Apex (Queueable or Future) to make the SOAP callout to the legacy system.
   • CUse External Services to invoke the SOAP API from Flow.
   • DUse Platform Events to send the data to the legacy system and wait for a response.

   A non-profit organization needs to integrate Salesforce with a donation platform. The integration is simple: when a donation is made on the platform, a donation record should be created in Salesforce. The organization has no dedicated IT staff and wants to minimize custom code. Which approach should the architect recommend?

   • AUse MuleSoft to orchestrate the integration between the donation platform and Salesforce.
   • BUse Apex REST endpoints to receive the donation data and create records.
   • CUse External Services to invoke a REST API from the donation platform in a Flow.
   • DUse Bulk API to periodically import donation data from the platform.
