Over the last two decades, Salesforce has proved to be the number one choice in SaaS CRM for enterprises of all sizes, irrespective of industry or nature. Of course, there have been challenges here and there, some of which include the silos between developers and the different stakeholders. Since the introduction of Salesforce DevOps, a lot has changed.
DevOps, in itself, is not a tool but rather a modernized approach for managing applications and helping to promote communication and collaboration among developers and stakeholders, thus breaking common silos between them.
As a result, a continuous cycle is created where different teams merge to deliver releases much faster, as opposed to the traditional methods of feature/release deployment.
Salesforce DevOps introduces a set of highly developed practices that skillfully combine software development and operations, help tech teams build software, and accomplish vital testing and releases at an astronomically faster pace and with more reliability.
As DevOps brings together those hardworking teams responsible for building the applications with those responsible for releasing, monitoring, and maintaining those applications, it aims to completely blurring the lines between those two distinct roles. All the teams working within the Salesforce ecosystem can benefit immensely.
A Google Industry Survey in 2019, uncovered valuable market information that high performing teams deploy 208 times more frequently and make changes 106 times faster than low performers, with a ‘change lead time’ being less than a day.
Change failure rates of 0-15% are also reported by high performers, compared with change failure rates of up to 60% among lower performers. Also, these elite performers can restore their services in less than one hour when there are any disruptions. On the contrary, low performers reported restore times of one week to a month.
DevOps is having a transformational effect on Salesforce teams. Just by adding a minimal amount of DevOps features, you can develop more rapidly than others, while adding a CI supercharge to the whole release process. It doesn’t matter where you are on the Salesforce DevOps ladder, the correct Salesforce DevOps tools will allow your team to release more reliably and more frequently.
