Maintain parent/child relationships by seeding directly from your source environment and ensure sandboxes contain targeted data from production orgs or other sandboxes.
Use reusable or pre-defined templates for CPQ, nCino, or FSL, to seed from production, backups or other sandboxes.
Save time by scheduling seeding jobs on a recurring or one-off basis.
Manage seed data sizes with real-time counters to view seed data size before seeding to destination.
Integrate seed templates into your organization’s developer workflows through Seeding API.
Obtain accurate, consistent test data across releases by copying sandbox data from a refreshed sandbox with seed from backup.
Instantly analyze production code changes to find errors immediately.
Proactively discover production data issues through alerts.
Restore data and metadata to the field level, keeping data relationships intact without rolling back the entire environment.
Immediately roll back all data and metadata if necessary, including their relationships.
Getting accurate data that mirrors your production environment into sandboxes can be complex. This can lead to unrealistic testing scenarios, where errors that might occur in production go undetected during development.Another challenge is the prevalence of manual workflows in Salesforce development.
These can include time-consuming processes for data propagation and sandbox management, which slow down development cycles and make it difficult for teams to keep pace.
Finally, identifying and recovering from errors can be a challenge. Limited tools for pinpointing potential issues before deployment and difficulty in quickly rolling back errors that do occur can lead to disruptions and wasted time.
Salesforce offers a variety of native tools to help with on-platform development. Salesforce DX provides a developer-friendly suite for managing code, deployments, and sandboxes. The Salesforce Developer Console allows developers to write and debug code directly within a web-based interface. The AppExchange marketplace offers pre-built apps (like Own) and components that can extend Salesforce functionality without extensive custom coding. Lastly, Salesforce Trailhead serves as a free online learning platform with a wealth of courses and resources for developers of all skill levels.
Technical debt refers to the accumulation of shortcuts or poor code choices that make future development more complex and expensive. Fixing bugs becomes more costly the later they are discovered in the development cycle.
Own addresses critical aspects of on-platform development initiatives: We ensure accurate development environments and simplify sandbox seeding processes andprotect production environments from bad code releases impacting metadata and data.
Own is not a DevOps tool, however our data protection platform supports DevOps so that teams can deploy with confidence.
