When planning to migrate a high volume of data, what is a common implication for Salesforce performance?

When migrating a high volume of data into Salesforce, one of the notable implications for performance is that the speed of reporting may be affected. This is primarily due to the system needing to index and process all of the new data being imported.

When a significant volume of data is introduced, it can temporarily impact the performance of reporting functionalities as Salesforce may take time to update all relevant indices and prepare the data for reporting. The high volume can also lead to additional load on the database, which may cause reports to run slower as they work to aggregate and retrieve the newly imported data.

It’s important to note that while other performance issues can arise during a data migration, such as slowness in the overall Salesforce org or delays in populating related lists and searching for records, the specific impact on reporting speed is particularly critical for users relying on timely and accurate analytics during and after the import process. This could affect decision-making and operational efficiency, making it a key factor to consider in data migration planning.
