# Manage Bulk Data Load Jobs

You can create update, or delete a large volume of records with the Bulk API, which is optimized for processing large sets of data. It makes it simple to load, update, or delete data from a few thousand to millions of records.

- **[Monitor Bulk Data Load Jobs](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.monitoring_async_api_jobs.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Process a set of records by creating a job that contains data that will be processed asynchronously. The job specifies which object is being processed and what type of operation is being used.
- **[View Bulk Data Load Job Details](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.monitoring_async_api_jobs_details.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When you create update, or delete a large volume of records with the Bulk API or Bulk API 2.0, each job has a Job Detail page where you can monitor the progress of the job.
