What should the Architect recommend to ensure the data migration schedule is maintained when using Bulk API for 80 million records?

Recommending the pre-processing of data with deactivated triggers is essential for ensuring that the data migration schedule is maintained when dealing with massive datasets, such as 80 million records, using the Bulk API. Deactivating triggers prevents any unnecessary workflows, validations, or processes from firing during the data load. These processes can significantly slow down the migration, cause performance issues, or lead to timeouts, ultimately affecting the schedule for the data migration.

By pre-processing the data and executing the load without the interference of triggers, the architect can ensure that the bulk loading of records is both efficient and does not encounter additional delays from automated processes. This method enhances performance and reliability during migration, which is crucial when working with a high volume of data.

Other strategies, such as performing a single test load or loading data during peak hours, do not address the core issues of performance and system constraints during large migrations. Additionally, using only one workstation for loading might introduce a bottleneck and not leverage the capabilities of the Bulk API, which is designed to handle large volumes of data across multiple threads and workspaces.
