Future Methods

A Future Method is an asynchronous method that runs in the background on another thread. We should think of a future method as a quick way to do a relatively small task on a small number of records.

Batch Apex

Batch apex runs asynchronously based on available resources and can chunk up the data per batch OR we can provide our own batch sizes.

Queueable Apex

Queueable Apex allows us to add jobs to the Queue and to be able to monitor them. Queueable Jobs are very similar to Future Methods but have a future other benefits.

Scheduled Apex

Scheduled Apex is Apex that is set to run at a certain time – it could be set to run every hour, every day, every week or etc. The main point is that Scheduled Apex enters the queue at the scheduled time and executes at some point after that.

Wrapping it Up

In this blog post, we’ve covered the various ways that we can execute asynchronous apex which has a lot less limits then synchronous apex. The future method is a good first step, but there’s a lot more scalable ways to build out your system.
