Salesforce is a pioneer CRM software that provides services globally. It is widely recognized as a prominent CRM application utilized by sales, support, and marketing departments. The platform's extensive features are highly customizable and suitable for light deployments.
However, As organizations grow, the utilization of Salesforce becomes more intricate. The customization capabilities of the platform have led to various challenges, which impede continuous and agile deployment. The deployment process of Salesforce demands meticulous management of multiple XML files and dependencies. Thus, Salesforce DevOps has emerged as a solution to alleviate this complexity and streamline the deployment process.
What is Salesforce DevOps?
DevOps is an amalgamation of techniques, technologies, and cultural values aimed at streamlining and automating processes between software development and IT teams.
Salesforce DevOps as service shares similar objectives to basic DevOps but focuses primarily on enabling businesses to scale their use of Salesforce. Salesforce DevOps revolutionizes the way businesses manage their Salesforce processes, such as customizing, building new features, and deploying changes, by pushing them through a release pipeline for integration and testing before the production release. It facilitates seamless collaboration between Salesforce consultants, enabling them to contribute to an iterative development and release cycle, regardless of their technical skill sets or job roles.
How can Salesforce DevOps help businesses and Salesforce developers improve productivity?
Salesforce DevOps tools are automated tools that streamline and optimize every aspect of the Salesforce development lifecycle. These tools, including version control, static code analysis, and continuous integration and deployment, enhance the speed, quality, and consistency of Salesforce productivity.
By using Salesforce DevOps, developers can deliver value to customers, enhance platform functionality, and navigate past development challenges. Through unparalleled deployment, continuous delivery, automated testing, and backups, businesses can quickly deliver services while maintaining data security.
The following are key benefits of integrating DevOps tools into Salesforce.
Increased business agility is driven by quick release cycles.
Shortened turnaround times are a direct result of rapid deployments.
Continuous testing results in fewer product-related bugs and issues.
Improved customer experience is facilitated by higher-quality releases.
Automation enables reliable and uninterrupted delivery.
Service reliability is ensured through monitoring, rollback, and backups.
Salesforce ROI is optimized by implementing DevOps methodologies.
Types of Salesforce DevOps tools
Salesforce DevOps adoption enables teams to deliver high-quality products at a faster pace. To ensure successful adoption, teams must select the right set of tools.
Salesforce DevOps tools can be grouped into different categories, including deployment, version control, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), rollback, testing, reporting, and backup.
Deployment tools such as Copado, Gearset, Flosum, and Force.com IDE allow teams to handle multiple projects, track progress, and manage builds efficiently.
Version control tools like GitLab, GitHub, and Apache Subversion automatically track changes in source code and facilitate effective merging.
CI/CD tools like Jenkins and Bamboo automate tedious tasks and create a solid CI/CD pipeline.
Rollback tools such as Gearset, Git, and Copado enable teams to roll back changes after deployment and monitor production orgs for discrepancies.
Testing tools such as Selenium and Accelq ensure the quality and security of the code by running manual and automated tests.
Reporting tools like Tableau and InsightSquared allow teams to access data from different platforms and display them in a single interactive dashboard.
Backup tools like Salesforce data and metadata backup protect project-specific data and configurations.
