+91-7032290546
Why DevOps Matters in Salesforce Ecosystem
 Salesforce releases are frequent and must be managed safely.
 DevOps brings automation, version control, and governance.
 It improves collaboration between dev, QA, and operations.
 Helps minimize deployment errors and accelerates innovation.
Defining DevOps for Salesforce Teams
 DevOps in Salesforce focuses on CI/CD, testing, and monitoring.
 Unique because of Salesforce’s metadata-driven model.
 Involves tools like Git, Copado, Jenkins, Gearset, and more.
 Encourages fast, reliable, and secure release management.
Key Benefits of Salesforce DevOps
 Faster release cycles with automation
 Improved quality through continuous testing
 Easy rollback and change tracking
 Enhanced collaboration and transparency
 Reduced human errors in deployments
Understanding the CI/CD Pipeline
 CI (Continuous Integration) automates testing after code commits.
 CD (Continuous Deployment) automates code releases.
 A pipeline includes build, test, release, and monitor phases.
 Ensures delivery of stable and production-ready releases.
Salesforce-Specific DevOps Challenges
 Metadata complexity and XML-based files
 Lack of native version control in Salesforce
 Environments drift and sandbox inconsistencies
 Testing coverage and Apex dependencies
 Need for governance in multi-admin teams
CI/CD Tools for Salesforce
 Copado: End-to-end native DevOps for Salesforce
 Gearset: CI/CD with metadata diffing and automation
 Jenkins: Open-source automation for custom pipelines
 SFDX & Git: CLI and version control foundation
Placement:
Version Control with Git
 Git stores your code and metadata securely
 Enables branching, merging, and team collaboration
 Helps track every change with audit trails
 Essential for enabling CI workflows
Build Automation
 Use SFDX scripts or tools like Jenkins/Gearset
 Compile metadata and run pre-deployment validations
 Automatically build packages for deployment
 Saves hours of manual work every release
Continuous Testing Strategy
 Run Apex tests on every push or pull request
 Use test automation tools for UI and API testing
 Ensure code coverage and functional validation
 Identify regressions early in the cycle
Deployment Automation
 Promote changes from Dev → QA → UAT → Prod
 Use CI tools or Copado for deployment plans
 Include manual approvals, rollback, and test runs
 Reduces risk and ensures repeatability
Using Copado for End-to-End CI/CD
 Copado offers user stories, commits, and promotion flows
 Visual interface with Git integration
 Real-time dashboards and automated testing
 Great for admin + developer teams
Security & Governance
 Enforce roles, access controls, and approvals
 Track changes and metadata lineage
 Keep audit logs for every deployment
 Ensure SOX, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
 Relying solely on change sets
 Skipping version control
 Ignoring test automation
 Manual deployments without rollback
 No sandbox synchronization
