This document summarizes a Salesforce webinar about loading data in parallel using the Bulk API. It discusses how parallel processing can significantly increase data load throughput compared to serial loads. However, locks and other inhibitors can prevent optimal parallelism. The webinar demonstrates approaches to identify and manage locks, such as modifying the data schema, ordering the load file, and using a controlled parallel approach. Managing locks is key to achieving high parallelism and throughput during large data loads.
