What is Salesforce?
- Cloud based
- CRM Platform
- Salesforce is the world’s #1 Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
platform. Our cloud-based applications for sales, service, marketing, and
more don’t require IT experts to set up or manage — simply log in and start
connecting to customers in a whole new way.

Sandbox

commonly including testing and development.
We can have different types of sandbox according our requirements:
- Developer Sandbox
- Developer Pro Sandbox
- Partial Copy Sandbox
- Full Sandbox

Salesforce Development Vs
Other Tech Stack Development
- Salesforce development is different
- Virtual environment is in the form of sandbox.
- You can’t run it locally
- Everything is on cloud
- There is no version control in salesforce sandbox environments.
- Large projects with shared environment is real mess without versioning
- No copy code and deployment done process

Traditional way of deployment
1. Using changeset
- Good for small deployments
- Not preferred for Large Deployments
2. Ant Migration tool
- Large Deployments can be done
- Easy reverting deployments

Problem with Traditional way
- No versioning
- Can be a big mess when multiple developers are working on project and not
in sync
- Simple change can look like “a needle in a haystack”
