PubSub+ Connector for Salesforce

The PubSub+ Connector for Salesforce provides a 2-way integration with your Salesforce.com account via the Salesforce PubSub gRPC API. Use it to source data from Salesforce into the event mesh or publish event data via a PubSub+ broker to various objects within Salesforce.

This connector provides 2-way integration configured via “workflows” in your connector instance. A workflow is a source-to-processing-to-target data pipeline configured within the connector runtime. Each workflow (you can have up to 20 defined per connector instance), defines a source, any header processing necessary for the target, and a target destination. When active, events will stream across these Workflows.

The connector is available (below) as:

• A runnable package based on a Java JAR file including a start script
• A container image suitable for running in a container runtime such as Docker or Podman

This connector is a “self-contained connector” from Solace. All self-contained connectors share a common architecture and provide a number of enterprise services to the connectors such as:

• A local management server accessible over HTTP(s) and JMX exposing endpoints for:
  • Health check
  • Metrics monitoring
  • Log file access
  • Workflow adminstration (start & stop workflows)
• A common set of configuration options for:
  • logging – log levels, log file size, archive and rollover rules, appenders to export to other log services
  • security setup for management endpoints – authentication and authorization to the endpoints, TLS for HTTPS endpoints
• Various runtime deployment options:
  • Standalone
  • Active_Standby – for redundancy (you can have more than 1 standby instance)
  • Active_Active – for horizontal scaling (where the source of data will support multiple active consumers such as a non-exclusive queue in PubSub+)
