AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
A company stores customer records in Salesforce and keeps a data lake in Amazon S3. For nightly analytics, the team must load only data changed in the previous 24 hours. The output objects must be partitioned into year/month/day folders, respect Salesforce API limits, and avoid any custom code or servers. Which approach delivers the requirement with the least ongoing management?
Deploy an AWS DataSync agent, export daily CSV files from Salesforce, and schedule DataSync to transfer the files to Amazon S3 using a date prefix.
Configure AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to use Salesforce as the source and Amazon S3 as the target with a replication task that runs once per day.
Create an Amazon AppFlow flow that sources Salesforce, schedules it to run daily with incremental sync, and enables dynamic partitioning by year/month/day in the S3 destination.
Develop an AWS Glue Spark job that calls the Salesforce Bulk API, filters records changed in the last day, and writes partitioned Parquet files to Amazon S3.
Amazon AppFlow offers a managed Salesforce connector that supports incremental sync based on a timestamp field and can run on a daily schedule. When Amazon S3 is chosen as the destination, you can enable the Date and time partition key so files land under year/month/day prefixes automatically. AppFlow manages authentication, scheduling, and API usage without requiring you to write or maintain code. Glue jobs, DMS tasks, or DataSync transfers would need additional code or infrastructure to filter daily changes and create the date-based partitions, increasing operational overhead.
