In this course, you’ll learn how teams can implement an Enterprise Development Lifecycle supporting parallel development, using SFDX scripting and Version Control System branching strategies.

Play by Play is a series in which top technologists work through a problem in real time, unrehearsed, and unscripted. In this course, Play by Play: Salesforce Development Lifecycle Design Practices, Tyler Mowbrey and Don Robins demonstrate how to implement an enterprise development lifecycle. This would include understanding various branching strategies, matching Salesforce environments to the strategy, metadata and supporting utilities required. Learn the concepts of Version Control and Branching, how scripts can interoperate across CLIs, and how SFDX scripting can be used to automate a Continuous Integration Pipeline to deploy metadata and code from Scratch Orgs. By the end of this course, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of the practices, options, and tools used to support parallel team development with Version Control, Continuous Integration, and Deployment Pipelines.
