When asking about a preference, the interviewer is seeking to understand how you approach your work. Your response to this question is based on two factors. One is your experience and skill set in this job. The second is the research you have done on the organization and your understanding of their preferences for the type of operations they perform. Your answer can either align with the processes employed by Salesforce or conflict with them. If you choose to conflict with them, you should be able to rationalize your answer based on your experience. Even organizations as large as Salesforce appreciate diversity in ideas and the opprotunity to adapt new and innovative ways of doing something.

"While I'm aware that your organization prefers monolithic applications, I use a micro-service approach. I like to do this because it allows me to create different services that can operate independently and, therefore, more robustly. While this approach results in better performance and more efficient code, it also creates multiple failure points. Extensive testing before putting the application into production can usually mitigate this."
