A Technical Consultant is implementing an experience site for a government agency where they will be accepting grant applications during a specific window of time. The Technical Consultant expects a high volume of interest in this grant offering. What three steps or tools should be leveraged to ensure the solution can support this surge?

Answer options

Correct Answer:

A, C, D

Explanation

To manage a high-volume surge for a grant application portal, a multi-layered approach is essential. Implementing a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and waiting rooms (A) manages the initial traffic influx and user experience. Offloading computationally intensive operations to asynchronous processes (C), such as Apex Batch or Queueable jobs, prevents synchronous transaction limits from being exceeded and keeps the user interface responsive. Finally, conducting thorough load testing (D) is critical to validate that the entire architecture—including code, configuration, and infrastructure—can withstand the anticipated peak user load and identify potential bottlenecks before the launch window opens.

Why Incorrect

B. IP restrictions are an access control mechanism to limit who can access the site, not a tool to manage a high volume of legitimate traffic.
E. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) focuses on functional correctness and business process validation from an end-user perspective, not on performance under high load.
