Universal Bulk Queue in Salesforce

Description

The Universal Queue is an advanced Salesforce Apex framework that enhances asynchronous data processing and synchronization. It addresses critical challenges in Salesforce development, such as governor limit constraints, record-locking issues, and efficient management of batch and queueable jobs.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Batch Processing: Manages high-volume data operations by dynamically dividing tasks into manageable batches, optimizing Salesforce governor limits utilization.
  • Record Locking Mitigation: Ingeniously circumvents common record locking problems by intelligently queuing operations, thus reducing the likelihood of lock contention in high-concurrency environments.
  • Advanced Queue Management: Handles a vast number of records with real-time data synchronization and processing capabilities.
  • Robust Error Handling and Monitoring: Ensures reliability and stability with comprehensive error handling and system monitoring.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Supports both trigger-based initiation for immediate data processing needs and scheduled batch processing for regular, extensive data operations.
  • Customizable and Extensible: Adaptable to a variety of business requirements and Salesforce org configurations.

Intended Audience

This framework perfectly fits Salesforce developers and architects looking for an effective solution to handle large-scale data operations, complex asynchronous processes, and concurrency challenges in Salesforce environments.

Overview

This project includes a Salesforce trigger and batch class that process records from a custom object named Universal_Queue__c. The trigger starts a batch job whenever a new record is inserted into the Universal_Queue__c object. The batch job processes the records and updates their status. The Universal_Queue__c object is a staging object of sorts before any business logic takes place. This ensures we have a copy of the request to try again later.

Components

  1. UniversalQueueTrigger: This trigger fires after a record is inserted into the Universal_Queue__c object. It checks a custom setting named BatchJobStatus__c to see if a batch job is already running. If not, it starts a new batch job and sets a flag in the custom setting.

  2. QueueProcessor: This is a batch class that processes records from the Universal_Queue__c object. In the finish method, it resets the flag in the BatchJobStatus__c custom setting and checks if there are any new records to process. If there are, it starts itself again.

  3. BatchJobStatus__c: This is a list custom setting that tracks whether a batch job is currently running. It has a boolean field named BatchJobStarted__c. The trigger sets this field to true when it starts a batch job, and the batch class sets it to false when it finishes.

How It Works

When a record is inserted into the Universal_Queue__c object, the UniversalQueueTrigger fires. It retrieves the BatchJobStatus__c custom setting and checks the BatchJobStarted__c field. If the field is false or null, the trigger starts a new QueueProcessor batch job and sets the BatchJobStarted__c field to true.

The QueueProcessor batch job processes the records from the Universal_Queue__c object. When it finishes, it retrieves the BatchJobStatus__c custom setting and sets the BatchJobStarted__c field to false. It then counts the number of new records in the Universal_Queue__c object. If there are any new records, it starts itself again and sets the BatchJobStarted__c field to true.

This ensures that only one QueueProcessor batch job is running at any given time, regardless of the number of transactions inserting records into the Universal_Queue__c object. It also ensures that all records are processed, even if they are inserted while a batch job is running.
