Scratch Org VS Sandbox Change Set
Based Development
Scratch Org Development Approach Change Set Based Development
Encourages Complete Source Driven Development .Scratch org are designed
to track changes between local and the scratch org .
Suitable for change set based development model
Suitable if your application has less no of post install configuration(Subject
to change in future with org shapes and Templates)
If your application has lots of post install config and
depends on lot of other applications (example apps on
top of Health cloud, Financial Cloud , Salesforce CPQ
etc) sandbox has lots of advantages
Highly Recommended for ISVs building managed package application or
System Integrators building Unlocked Packages
Apps that have not moved to SalesforceDX source
format can benefit from this approach
