Synchronous vs Asynchronous
• Synchronous
• Asynchronous
Process 1
Process 2
Waiting for response
Process 1
Process 2
Continues working
Get response
• Synchronous •Immediate and fast actions•Enforce single, serial, transactions•Normal governor limits
• Asynchronous •Actions that should not block the rest of the process•Processes where duration is of lesser concern•Higher governor limits
Synchronous vs Asynchronous
Batch Apex
Use when you want to:• Process a big “batch” of records in smaller “batches” of
records• Each smaller batch is handled in a discrete transaction• Monitor queue of batch jobs• Batchable context with information about batch
Batch Apex
Start
Execute
Finish
global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
//Query for data return Database.getQueryLocator(query);}
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<sObject> scope) {
//Do some actions with data//DML Statement }
global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC) {//Give some feedback about statistics of batch//Do post batch actions}
Batch Apex
Process up to 50 million recordsMonitor batch progress in the Setup User InterfaceAdmins can reorder batch priority with Apex Flex
Queue
Maximum 5 concurrent batches processed (status Queued)
Not always easy to debug
Future Methods
Use when you want to:• Execute methods that should not delay or respond to
the current Apex transaction• Isolate transaction contexts and DML contexts• Make asynchronous call outs to Web services
Pilot: Future methods with Higher Limits• Set specific governor limits for a specific method x2 or
x3
Future Methods
Executepublic class MyClass{
public void myNormalMethod{List<ID> recordIds;
//Synchronous logic heremyFutureMethod(recordIds);
// More synchronous logic }
@future public static void myFutureMethod(List<ID>
recordIds) { // Get those records based on the IDs // Process records }}
@future
Future Methods
Executed near instantlyBypass mixed DML limitations Pilot: increase limits for specific methods
Maximum 50 future methods per Apex invocation Only accepts (collections of) primitive data types
Future methods can not invoke other future methodsCan not be invoked from Visualforce Constructors, Get
& Set
Queueable Apex
Use when you want to:• Start long-running operations and monitor them within
the current process or the user interface• Pass complex types• Chain asynchronous jobs
Queueable Apex
implements
Queueable
ID jobID = System.enqueueJob(new MyQueueableJob ());
public class MyQueueableJob implements Queueable {
//Other logic
public void execute(QueueableContext context) {//Asynchronous logic here
//Optionally: enqueue another job }}
Queueable Apex
Executed near instantlyUnlimited depth of chained jobs (except for Dev & Trial
orgs)Use sObject and Apex objects as parameters
Maximum 50 jobs queued in a single apex transactionWhen chaining jobs only 1 ‘child job’ is supportedJobs can not be chained in test context.Chained jobs do not support callouts (Winter ‘16 ?)
Schedulable Apex
Use when you want to:• Schedule Apex classes• Specify schedule with User Interface or Apex
Schedulable Apex
// Schedulable classglobal class MySchedulable implements Schedulable {
global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) {
// Execute apex }
}
// Schedule from Apex: MySchedulable schApex = new MySchedulable ();String sch = '0 15 10 * * ?';String jobID = System.schedule('MySchedulable', sch, schApex);
implements
Schedulable
Schedulable Apex
Execute Apex on scheduled intervalsAdmins can manage the schedule from the Setup UI
Maximum 100 scheduled jobs at the same time Using the Setup User Interface the minimum interval is 1 hour
Synchronous web service callouts are not supported
Continuation
Use when you want to:–Make callouts from Visualforce pages–Special one: synchronous asynchronous

Visualforce Continuation Webservice

// Visualforce page<apex:page showHeader="true" sidebar="true" controller="TwitterController">

// Get the response by using the unique label HttpResponse response =

// Return null to re-render the original Visualforce page return null;}
processResponse
Continuation
Integrate Visualforce with back-end systemsNo long-running concurrent request limit for call outs
that last longer than 5 seconds
Visualforce page suspended until action completed (= Synchronous)Maximum 3 asynchronous callouts in one single
ContinuationMaximum timeout continuation is 120 seconds
Testing Asynchronous Apex
• Invoke asynchronous Apex between the Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest() methods.
• The Test.stopTest() method will execute all asynchronous and scheduled Apex synchronously.
• Assert :-)
