DEPLOYMENT TOOLS DEVOPS
Deployment, in its traditional sense, was tedious and manual, relying on IT staff to manually install and configure applications. The rapid advancement of DevOps, however, has enabled enterprise users to automate much of this process. DevOps, which began as an initiative to bridge the gap between developers and IT operations teams, is now commonly used to automate processes such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and application release management. Automating these processes not only reduces operational overhead, but is also an increasingly crucial tool for safeguarding against potential cyberattacks and speedily introducing new features to the market. In making the transition to a DevOps-based deployment model, organizations should invest in automated tools that enable enterprise users to easily spin-up new infrastructure and securely deploy applications. For Salesforce customers, the use of automated release management, data backup, and security tools is increasingly becoming the norm. For instance, automated Salesforce release management tools allow for easy deployment of Salesforce changes and modifications in a controlled manner. Such tools also enable seamless operational collaboration during the review and signoff of changes, further helping to ensure the correct version of an application is being deployed. Furthermore, automated Salesforce data backup and recovery tools provide organizations a single platform where they can securely back up all their Salesforce objects, documents, and settings. The use of these tools allows for convenient data keep and facilitates restorations at the press of a button. Moreover, automated Salesforce security solutions can be employed to reduce the risk of potential data breaches, with the help of intrusive scanning tools, multi-factor authentication and secure access controls. In conclusion, adoption of DevOps-based tools for deployment is on the rise due to its automation of business-critical operations, such as IaC and application release management. In the salesforce space in particular, enterprises have the option to take advantage of automated solutions for Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery, and Salesforce security, allowing them to spin-up infrastructure and secure application deployments in the quickest manner possible.
