This practical guide brings DevOps principles to Salesforce development.
It fits together two major movements within the IT world: the movement
to Software/Platform as a Service (SaaS/PaaS), and the DevOps movement.
While SaaS and PaaS allow companies to invest in their core competencies
rather than maintain their own infrastructure, the goal of DevOps is to
optimize the process of delivering software innovation and value.
The release of Salesforce DX in late 2017 unlocks the possibility of a
true DevOps workflow on Salesforce. But DevOps is new to the Salesforce
world and there is not a widespread understanding of its goals and
methods, and so adoption of Salesforce DX is still in the early stages.
Mastering Salesforce DevOps explains how to build a powerful and
comprehensive DevOps workflow for Salesforce--allowing you to finally
deploy the world's most innovative platform using the world's most
effective and efficient techniques. It addresses the need for a
comprehensive guide to DevOps for Salesforce, allowing teams to bring
proven practices from the IT world to resolve the hardest problems
facing Salesforce developers today.
