    A big object stores and manages massive amounts of data on the Salesforce platform. You can archive data from other objects or bring massive datasets from outside systems into a big object to get a full view of your customers. Clients and external systems use a standard set of APIs to access big object data. A big object provides consistent performance, whether you have 1 million records, 100 million, or even 1 billion. This scale gives a big object its power and defines its features.

    Hi Aditya,

    Big Objects as the name itself predicts

    Storage of massive amounts of data on the Salesforce platform.

    Best thing about Big Objects is that they can provide consistent performance for objects with records upwards of a billion with a standard set of APIs within the org as well as an external system (REST, SOAP, Bulk etc).

    Big objects are that type of objects in Salesforce which is used to store and manage large amount of data as we can say that if we have to perform any operation on million/billion records so we can use the big objects.

    Big object : Object that allows you to stores and manages massive amount of data on the Salesforce platform without affecting performance.  It provide consistent performance for a billion records or more, and are accessible with a standard set of APIs to your org or external system.

    There are two types of Big Object:

    1. Standard Big Object
    2. Custom Big Object
