Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery is the enabler of a true DevOps team
Typically in Salesforce, everything you build revolves around your org. Whether you’re working in a production org with dependent sandboxes or in a developer edition, the canonical source of truth is hosted in your Salesforce environment.
This is different from workflows you may be familiar with if you develop on other platforms, where your source of truth is often a version control system. Modern software development tools have made automated testing and delivery a commodity.
What is Continuous Integration and Development (CI/CD)?
Continuous integration puts a great emphasis on testing automation to check that the application is not broken whenever new commits are integrated into the main branch.
Continuous delivery is an extension of continuous integration to make sure that you can release new changes to your customers quickly in a predictive and repeatable way.
