Salesforce DevOps and Salesforce DX Foundations

Modern Salesforce development requires moving away from manual changes in production and adopting robust, automated release pipelines. Transitioning to a source-driven development model ensures faster deployments, fewer errors, and seamless collaboration across teams. This written course guides you through the core principles of Salesforce DevOps and Salesforce DX (SFDX). You will discover how to transition from traditional org-based development to modern package-based and source-driven workflows, establishing a solid foundation for automated testing and continuous integration. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational DevOps principles and how they apply to the Salesforce ecosystem. - Configure Salesforce DX toolsets, including VS Code, the SFDX Command Line Interface (CLI), and the Apex Replay Debugger. - Manage version control using Git and GitHub to track changes and establish branching strategies. - Deploy metadata and code packages using continuous integration pipelines with Jenkins. - Create and manage scratch orgs for isolated, lightweight development and testing. - Apply branch management and environment strategies that align developers, administrators, and architects. You will begin with fundamental DevOps concepts and installation steps before moving on to hands-on command-line operations, version control setup, and automated pipeline configuration. The written lessons provide clear explanations, step-by-step commands, and practical configuration examples to help you build a reliable deployment pipeline. This course is designed for Salesforce developers, administrators, and architects who are new to DevOps and want to adopt source-driven development. No prior command-line or Git experience is required. Start reading today to modernize your Salesforce development workflow and streamline your release management.
