Developer Sandbox
Intended for coding and testing. These environments include a copy of your production organization’s metadata, or Setup data. - No record data. Refresh = 1 Day
Developer Pro Sandbox
Same as Developer but they have a larger storage limit - Still no record data. Refresh = 1 Day
Partial Copy Sandbox
Partial Copy sandboxes are intended to be used as testing environments. These environments can be used for quality assurance tasks such as user acceptance testing, integration testing, and training. These environments include a copy of your production organization’s metadata, or Setup data, and a subset of your production data as defined by a sandbox template. Refresh = 5 days
Full Copy Sandbox
These environments are the only ones that can support full performance testing, load testing, and staging in addition to the tasks that you use other sandboxes for. These environments are a replica of your production organization, including all data—for example, object records and attachments—and metadata. Refresh = 29 Days
REST API
Uses HTTPS and can transmit XML or other language types. Main API used today for web services integrations. SSL security.

Lighting Connet
Ability to use OData sources to pull information into SFDC to be viewed using External Objects.
ETL Tool
Extract, Transfer, Load (Example Informatica)
Operational Data Store (ODS)
Data is normalized and this data is fed from a data mart(s0
Data Mart
Where large amounts of data are collected and available for reporting using BI tools (reporting and dashboards)
Data Warehouse
Is fed by the ODS and the data is normalized so it can feed the Data Mart(s)
Demormilization
