Salesforce External Data Objects

You can store data outside Salesforce and still access in your org or Data Cloud.

External Objects

External objects are similar to custom objects, but external object record data is stored outside your org. You can access data in external objects by using OData and other adaptors.

Zero Copy Objects

In some cases, Salesforce is deeply integrated into data stored in other products, such as Snowflake or AWS. In this case, the data is stored outside Salesforce, but it's accessible through Data Cloud.
