Improve the Performance of Future Methods in Salesforce!

When it comes to asynchronous processes in Salesforce, such as future methods and batch Apex, there are some best practices you should follow to ensure your organization's queue is used efficiently. 

Here's what you need to know:

1️⃣ Avoid overloading the queue: 

If possible, try not to add a large number of future methods to the asynchronous queue. 

When there are more than 2,000 unprocessed requests from a single organization in the queue, additional requests from the same organization will be delayed. 

So, it's important to be mindful of the workload and balance it across organizations.

2️⃣ Optimize execution speed: 

To ensure fast execution of future methods, pay attention to two key factors – minimizing web service callout times and tuning queries used in your future methods. 

The longer a future method takes to execute, the higher the chances of other queued requests getting delayed, especially when there's a large number of requests in the queue.

3️⃣ Test for scalability: 

It's crucial to test your future methods at scale. This means running tests on an environment that generates the maximum number of future methods you can expect to handle. 

By doing so, you can identify any potential delays and make necessary adjustments before they become a problem.

4️⃣ Consider batch Apex for large record processing: 

If you have a large number of records to process, it may be worth considering using batch Apex instead of future methods. 

Batch Apex allows you to process records in smaller, manageable chunks, resulting in better performance and efficient resource utilization.

By following these best practices, you can ensure the smooth functioning of your asynchronous processes and optimize the performance of future methods in Salesforce.
