One of my customers wants to bidirectionally synchronize a handful of Sales Cloud and Custom Objects between two of its business orgs. Using Salesforce-to-Salesforce. I never did such a project before and don't know how to estimate/scope/price the effort.

Sure there is an [official documentation which describes the steps which look easy and straight forward][1]official documentation which describes the steps which look easy and straight forward, but I fear there are hidden risks that only developers experienced with S2S know.

Questions that come into my mind are:

  1. How do I turn on this feature?
  2. How much does it cost?
  3. Is it cumbersome to get licences as many things with Salesforce?
  4. Is S2S a supported feature and best of breed or is there something better (e.g. Mulesoft)?
  5. What makes S2S projects easy and what makes them hard.
  6. Which limitations are well known and which are hidden.
  7. Which question about data volumes are relevant for success? Which not?

If you provide answers to those AND also describe the coarse steps/tasks for such an S2S project I will grant you a bounty afterwards. [1]: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=business_network_intro.htm&type=5
