Are Your Custom Objects Gathering Dust?
Are Your Custom Objects Gathering Dust?
Let's be honest: Creating Custom Objects feels good—like building something new with shiny tools. But cleaning up the old, unused data? That's about as appealing as tidying up the garage after a weekend barbecue.
Here's the thing, though: Ignoring cleanup can quietly kill your Salesforce Commerce Cloud performance. Suddenly, things slow down, searches become sluggish, and your neatly organized system becomes a cluttered nightmare. And guess who ends up sorting the mess later? You do.
But hey, no drama. I'm here to save your future self from unnecessary pain. Here's exactly what you need to do:
Automate the Cleanup
Set up scheduled batch jobs to purge outdated or already exported Custom Object records. It's like having a robot vacuum that cleans your house while you relax—it runs in the background, and you never even notice.
Keep Your Staging Data Out of Production
Clearly define replication settings for Custom Objects. Don't let that test data sneak into your live environment. It's like keeping your experiments in the lab and out of your customer's hands.
Proactive Beats Reactive (Every Time)
Don't wait until the platform complains or your users notice issues. Define clear expiration rules and purge data regularly. Think of it like taking out the trash every day instead of waiting for it to overflow onto your kitchen floor.
Simple steps? Yes. Overlooked often? Absolutely.
Trust me—your site performance, your customers, and your future self will thank you for it.
