Salesforce is a multi-tenant platform that serves multiple customers on the same hardware. With this type of architecture, the Salesforce Platform imposes limits to enforce an even distribution of resources across all tenants. Such limits include API consumption, Apex governor limits, and others. Most of the developer-related limits are described in the Salesforce Developer Limits and Allocations Quick Reference, however, it’s easy to overlook other limits like data and file storage allocations.
In this post, we’ll look at file storage and explore a solution that allows you to reduce file storage consumption by offloading documents to Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Salesforce Functions. We’ll share sample implementations for exporting and importing documents from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
