FULL COPY SANDBOX
Salesforce staff looking for a comprehensive solution for their release management, data backup & recovery and security needs can benefit from a full copy sandbox environment. A full copy sandbox environment provides a secure source to measure system performance, test new deployments and safely capture data. Rather than using a single, shared sandbox, this approach creates full sandbox environments for each user or project. The setup is simple: some configuration changes (stubbing out external connections) and the creation of a copy of the production environment. Each sandbox can be used to simulate how the production configuration will respond with unique data sets. Full sandboxes are not limited by Salesforce governor limits and allow holistic testing over most Salesforce environments. In terms of release management, a full sandbox environment provides several advantages. First, a full sandbox can be layered-in to an organization's existing release management processes. Changes can be configured once in the sandbox and replicated into production. This reduces stress onDevOps teams since they need not worry about reconciling or refreshing data. Second, this system is especially helpful when dealing with complex deployments. With a full sandbox, teams can setup and run tests quickly and accurately. Additionally, the full sandbox environment creates an isolated environment for experimentation and process automation. Data backup and recovery is another area that can benefit from a full sandbox. Utilizing a full sandbox allows parallel processes to run and validate changes prior to production deployment. Backups can be taken of sandboxes to ensure against critical data loss. Also, full sandbox environments support enforceable service level agreements. Backups can be scheduled to run in regular intervals, helping to reduce manual effort and ensure consistent reliability. Finally, a full sandbox environment provides necessary support for Salesforce security. With a full sandbox, developers and IT staff alike can proactively monitor data access and ensure proper security measures are in place. Full sandboxes allow admins to securely store sensitive data and ensure it is accessible only to a limited set of approved users. Also, the full copy provides a safe environment to test the security against potential attack vectors and threats. In summary, a full copy sandbox environment provides Salesforce staff with a complete solution for their release management, data backup & recovery and security needs. With the many benefits of a full sandbox, testers and developers can securely run their tests without risking data loss and security breaches.
