Large dataset exports from Lightning components face browser memory limits, processing timeouts, and API governor restrictions that make them impractical for enterprise Salesforce orgs with substantial data volumes.

Here’s how to handle enterprise-scale Salesforce data exports efficiently without the browser constraints that limit Lightning component solutions to small datasets.

Process enterprise-scale Salesforce datasets efficiently using Coefficient

Coefficient handles Salesforce datasets up to your org’s API limits through server-side batch processing, eliminating the 2-4GB browser memory constraints and processing timeouts that make Lightning component exports unreliable for large data volumes.

How to make it work

Step 1. Move from browser to server-side processing.

Connect Coefficient to your Salesforce org to handle large dataset processing on dedicated server infrastructure. This eliminates the browser memory limits that cause crashes with datasets over 50K-100K records in Lightning components.

Step 2. Configure intelligent batch processing.

Set up imports that automatically respect Salesforce API governor limits through parallel processing and intelligent pagination. Coefficient handles complex queries and joins across multiple objects without the synchronous processing limits that affect Lightning components.

Step 3. Enable large dataset optimization.

Apply complex AND/OR filter logic to reduce dataset size before export, using dynamic filters that reference cell values for flexible data segmentation. This allows you to process only relevant data while maintaining access to your complete Salesforce dataset.

Step 4. Set up scheduled processing for massive datasets.

Configure exports to run during off-hours with automatic delivery via email or shared links. This eliminates the user experience issues of frozen browsers and long processing times that make Lightning component exports impractical for business use.

Scale beyond browser limitations

Enterprise Salesforce orgs require data export solutions that can handle millions of records reliably. While Lightning components are limited by browser constraints, server-side processing provides consistent performance regardless of dataset size.
