Preparing Datacloud

This handles the ingestion layer of Salesforce Data Cloud: creating data streams, configuring Data Lake Objects, setting up transforms, and wiring Document AI for unstructured sources. It wraps the sf data360 CLI plugin and knows when to create streams from CRM objects versus external connectors, how to categorize datasets as Profile, Engagement, or Other, and when stream-level refresh differs from connection-level reruns. The workflow is detailed and opinionated, which matters because Data Cloud ingestion has sharp edges around unstructured sources, Ingestion API handoffs, and the gap between what the CLI can provision versus what still needs UI setup. If you're moving data into Data Cloud and need more than just connector plumbing, this is the phase skill you want.
