I am pleased to announce the launch of the Salesforce DX Open Beta! Salesforce DX is now available in all production and business orgs (Enterprise Edition and Unlimited Edition) — including yours!
Last year at Dreamforce 2016, we shared our vision for a new, modern approach to developing on the Salesforce platform, particularly Force.com. With a focus on source-driven development, Salesforce DX makes it easier for developers to build together and deliver continuously using the tools that make them most productive. It starts with our core principles:
These core principles haven’t changed since we started two years ago, and continue to guide us as we bring improvements to the platform.
We kicked off Salesforce DX with a small, but active, developer preview immediately following last year’s Dreamforce, and then quickly transitioned into a Pilot that included over 2,500 developers and 2,000 customers & partners. To share some interesting stats:
Everyone involved in our developer preview and pilot, from customers and partners to our product managers and engineers, learned a lot through active use and experimentation. We sincerely thank you for all your contributions!
Based on your feedback, we’ve introduced a number of improvements in the Salesforce DX Open Beta:
force:org:list
and force:org:display
force:mdapi:deploy
We’re excited to announce some amazing resources for you, including three new Salesforce DX badges for you to earn on Trailhead!
Using version control with Salesforce DX is of paramount importance, and for those of you who are new to version control systems, you’ll be glad to know that we partnered with Github to bring you an amazing new Trailhead module to help you get up to speed.
You can find all these modules in the Get Started with Salesforce DX trail.
As you explore and use Salesforce DX, we want to hear from you! We have set up a Salesforce DX Beta group in the Success Community. Please join us and tell us what you love, what questions you have, and everything else you think we should build!
Okay, so you just want to get started and try this out quickly? We understand!
A great many thanks to all of our customers and partners who dedicated so much of their time to provide us fantastic feedback during the developer preview and pilot. Without your feedback and involvement, we wouldn’t be where we are.
Happy coding!
