A) Ensure that the back-end application's codeencrypts all claim data before writing it to a Heroku Postgres database.
B) Use Heroku Shield Connect to sync claim data from Salesforce to a Heroku Postgres database.
C) Ensure that the mobile app can only run when on the hospital's intranet, which is connected to the back end's Shield Private Space via VPN.
D) Use only Heroku Shield Postgres databases to store claim data outside of Salesforce Health Cloud.

3. Which technology do SalesforceREST APIs use for authentication?

A) Basic usernames and passwords

4. Universal Containers (UC)uses Apache Kafka on Heroku to stream shipment inventory data in real time throughout the world. A Kafka topic is used to send messages with updates on the shipping container GPS coordinates as they are in transit. UC is using a Heroku Kafka basic-0 plan.The topic was provisioned with 8 partitions, 1 week of retention, and no compaction. The keys for the events are being assigned by Heroku Kafka, which means that they will be randomly distributed between the partitions.
UC has a single-dyno consumer application that persists the data to their Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).
Recently, they've been noticing data loss in the EDW.
What should an Architect with Kafka experience recommend?

A) Use Heroku Redis to store message receipt information to account for "at-least" once delivery, which will guarantee that messagesare never processed more than once. Scale up the consumer dynos to match the number of partitions so that there is one process for each partition.
B) Enable compaction on the topic to drop older messages, which will drop older messages with the same key.
C) Upgrade to a larger Apache Kafka for Heroku plan, which has greater data capacity.

5. Universal Containers is developing a new application that has a lightweight Node.js front end. Theywill also be using a Java-based API, which combines data with Salesforce customer data. All of the data, and the API, is highly confidential.

B) Deploy all of the apps to a Heroku Private Space. Force the Java app to use SSI/TLS sessions, and point the Node.js app to its appname.herokuapp.corn domain.
C) Deploy all of the apps to the Common Runtime. Force the Java app to use SSI/TLS sessions, and point the Node.js app to its appname.herokuapp.com domain.
D) Deploy the apps into either Heroku runtime. Force the Java app to use a CDN, and point the Node.js app to its appname.herokuapp.com domain.
