Scratch orgs exist for no longer than 30 days, but when spinning up a new scratch you can specify an even shorter lifespan, as well as the shape of the org and the features it has enabled. Scratch orgs were a DX innovation: temporary orgs that can be created as a fresh environment when wanting to start ‘from scratch’ (hence the name), then deleted, or allowed to expire.
Salesforce continues to iterate on IDE tooling this year it plans to release Code Builder, a web-based development environment. Salesforce also released extensions for Visual Studio Code that make the lightweight, extensible code editor an ideal IDE for working with DX, and which effectively replaced the Eclipse-based IDE that has since been retired. What is the Salesforce CLI? (And How to Use It) If you’re a developer, you’ll want the Salesforce CLI bringing the power of DX to your fingertips. It offers all the functionality of Ant and more, including commands for pushing and pulling metadata to and from orgs, converting metadata to SFDX format, and managing other DX features. The Salesforce command-line interface (CLI) superseded the Ant-based migration tool. Your team’s workflow may or may not call for everything DX has to offer, and different members of your team will use the DX tools that make sense for their role. But you can use some DX tools without needing to use them all. These tools are all designed to work together and have the common aim of facilitating a package-based, source-driven development, and release process.
Salesforce released a range of new and improved tools, APIs, and features as part of DX. This means mixed teams of developers and admins can follow the same DevOps process, making the most of DX functionality, and using their preferred tools for development and releases.
Today, you can spin up a new scratch org, create a new feature branch, make changes and deploy between those environments, pull in masked data from Production for testing, and merge to the main branch, all without touching the CLI. What’s more, it didn’t take long for Salesforce’s partners to build DX functionality into their DevOps solutions, making DX workflows accessible to no-code developers and admins. Salesforce’s overarching aim for DX was to support source-driven development, and this benefits everyone building on Salesforce.
