Salesforce's engineering team built the Migration Intake and Processing Service (MIPS) to automate large-scale customer org migrations to Hyperforce, replacing manual spreadsheet-based coordination. The platform processed over 95,000 org migrations across 15,000+ requests in roughly one year. MIPS uses a deterministic rules engine that evaluates eligibility, schedulability, regional capacity, and policy rules to auto-approve ~80% of requests, routing the remaining 20% for human review. Key design principles include auditable decision pipelines for full traceability, safe failure defaults when data sources are unavailable, and background data refresh jobs to decouple data freshness from request processing latency. The result is a scalable intake layer that maintains predictable throughput without proportional staffing increases.
