It is also well known that Salesforce is a champion of Low-Code/No-Code, emphasizing declarative development as the preferable approach, which make it easier for newcomers to the platform to become productive from day one.
Salesforce allows developers to focus on the functionality required by the business, also, Salesforce has one of the best e-learning platforms ever made available to the public – Trailhead – training countless people in Salesforce from all backgrounds and bringing them to the IT market.
Through this, Value Stream Squads consistently delivering features into production. However, that is not what normally happen, as most projects struggle to deliver features. As Salesforce uses a quite complex data structure called Salesforce Metadata to define almost everything we can do on Salesforce UI (and a couple of things we cannot do on the UI). Identifying and deploying Salesforce Metadata can be overwhelming, error-prone, and time-consuming. Senior resources typically handle this task in Value Stream Squads.
Data extraction is also crucial, especially when third-party vendors rely on data records for Managed Package configuration. Storing and sharing extracted Metadata and Data Records requires support and a GIT repository. Some features may not be covered by Salesforce Metadata, necessitating manual intervention and project-specific administration for org configuration. Operational support is essential. The Low-Code/No-Code approach requires specialized tooling and Enabling/Platform Teams to address these challenges, and we can make that happen for you.
