SCRATCH ORGS
Emerging trends in Salesforce enablement and utilization have driven the need for fast, efficient, and secure IT-based solutions that go beyond the capabilities of traditional Salesforce deployments. Fortunately, this new wave of Salesforce power and innovation is made possible by one of the greatest recent developments in cloud technology – scratch orgs. Long used in the software engineering space, scratch orgs are rapidly becoming the primary deployment strategy for Salesforce enterprise customers. So, what exactly is a scratch org? Put simply, a scratch org is an isolated and ephemeral Salesforce environment created for the purpose of development and testing. It gives staff the ability to test changes and new features in a secure and disposable environment without impacting the production instance of Salesforce. Using scratch orgs also allows IT teams to develop and deploy code more quickly and securely across the enterprise. Scratch orgs are the basis for the "Source-driven" Salesforce cloud and offer Salesforce users numerous benefits. For starters, they allow Salesforce teams to develop against version-controlled source code and easily roll back any changes as needed. Additionally, scratch orgs help IT teams simulate sandbox and production orgs for both development and testing purposes. Teams can also lock down scratch orgs to only contain the source code intended for deployment, reducing the risk of potential code conflicts or defects resulting from non-production code. Lastly, scratch orgs make it possible for Salesforce staff to deploy and test changes at-scale without overloading production resources. When it comes to Salesforce release management, salesforce data backup and recovery, and salesforce security solutions, scratch orgs represent the best way to ensure mission-critical Salesforce processes and applications are up and running without any unexpected delays or issues. Scratch orgs give IT teams the power to deploy new features, fixes, and other changes to Salesforce more safely and efficiently. And since environment-specific changes occur only in the scratch org, the potential for error and possible conflicts of code are both significantly minimized. Simply put, scratch orgs provide a powerful and efficient platform for Salesforce teams to develop and test changes with minimal risk and hassle. With their easy setup and helpful features, scratch orgs can help IT teams reduce cycle times, maximize resource utilization, and empower users with reliable access to Salesforce features.
