Efficient and scalable methods for accessing product data in Salesforce B2C Commerce involve: B.
ProductSearchHit.getRepresentedProducts() - This method retrieves the products represented by search hits in a search result. It is efficient because it allows batch retrieval of product data based on search criteria, reducing the need for individual product queries. C. ProductSearchModel.getProductSearchHits() - This method retrieves a collection of search hits from a product search, which can be used to fetch multiple products efficiently. Using a search model to manage product data retrieval is scalable as it leverages indexed search data rather than querying all products directly.
Both methods are part of the Commerce Cloud's search framework, designed to handle large volumes of data efficiently and are recommended for scalable product retrieval operations. The direct querying methods like ProductMgr.queryAllSiteProducts() and Category.getProducts() can be less efficient and scalable due to their broad scope and direct database access.
