Scratch Orgs and Package Development

Scratch orgs are temporary Salesforce orgs intended for development and automation. They enable source-driven deployments of Salesforce code and metadata. A scratch org is fully configurable, allowing developers to emulate different Salesforce editions with various features and preferences.
Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Developer, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

You can use a scratch org to develop the app you want to package, and you can also create scratch orgs to test out your package. Scratch orgs also help with continuous integration (CI) processes to automate package development steps. For example, you could write a script that creates a package version, creates a scratch org, installs the package version into the scratch org, runs Apex tests, and emails the test results to the release manager.

Enable Data Cloud for Scratch Orgs

To use Data Cloud components in scratch orgs or to add these components to a package, Data Cloud for Scratch Orgs must be enabled. Log a case with Salesforce Partner Support and request that Data Cloud for Scratch Orgs be enabled on your Partner Business Org. Data Cloud for Scratch Orgs is only available to scratch orgs associated with the Dev Hub in your Partner Business Org.
