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. What You Will Learn Improve company performance and
software delivery performance using Salesforce DX Translate DevOps concepts into the unique
language and practices of Salesforce Understand why and how you can implement Salesforce DX to
achieve greater productivity and innovation Enable continuous delivery on Salesforce Build
packages and architect code so it can be deployed easily Allow admins to participate in what
