With this article, learn about the importance of treating declarative changes in Salesforce as equal citizens to code changes, and the benefits of keeping them in source control. I also discovered how different types of developers can contribute to Salesforce apps, and how Blue Canvas can simplify the process of integrating declarative changes into a continuous integration workflow.
Here are our 5 Key Takeaways:
- Declarative changes in Salesforce are just as important as code changes and should be treated as such.
- Different types of developers can contribute to Salesforce apps, from Apex coders to business analysts making declarative changes through the UI.
- The Salesforce platform democratizes technology by reducing the technical requirements to harness its power.
- Blue Canvas is a solution that can automatically commit declarative changes into Git, simplifying the process of integrating them into a continuous integration workflow.
- Configuration and declarative changes affect end-users' experience just as much as code changes, and should be kept in source control in real time.
