Data is the lynchpin for the success of every business on Salesforce. Without it processes can't function, teams can't operate, and businesses can't succeed. The loss or corruption of data on Salesforce can cause a major disruption, so ensuring the integrity and retrievability of that data is crucial. To guarantee success, data needs to be secure. It must be backed up sufficiently, with a reliable restore process in place to retrieve any data that may be lost. Here's why:

Data loss disasters can strike at any time. Planning for the worst-case scenario is essential, and it's no longer possible to fall back on Salesforce's now retired data recovery service. That's why we're hosting a webinar that's jam-packed with vital information about backups, so we can help teams to implement a successful backup strategy - which we believe is the missing piece of the DevOps puzzle.

When it comes to setting up a Git-based workflow for Salesforce, everyone wants to get it just right. All teams have their own ways of working when deploying changes from version control to Salesforce environments and automating releases to staging and production orgs. But regardless of the exact model you follow, there are patterns, commands and tools that any team using Git should be familiar with. It's time to get hands-on with Git.

Have you ever had changes to your org overwritten by a colleague? When Salesforce teams collaborate - making changes to developer orgs, deploying to sandboxes and releasing to production - all sorts of things can go horribly wrong. You're about to deploy, but your workflow stalls because of a code conflict. What's more, there's a bug somewhere and you don't know who introduced it or when. And to cap it all off, you can't even remember which set of changes were deployed to UAT. Maybe it's time to think about using source control.

Salesforce is an incredibly powerful and fast-growing platform. By pioneering the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, it has enabled thousands of businesses to improve their operational efficiency and grow their sales. Businesses all over the world are building every facet of the organization on top of Salesforce from sales and CRM through to HR and service desk.
Adopting a company-wide platform is not without its challenges. Managing change and avoiding conflict in a system where end users, as well as development teams, are encouraged to edit the production environment requires discipline to prevent bugs from being introduced. Having really great tests protect developers and admins as they work, and provides the confidence to make changes safely and quickly.

It's over. We made it! Dreamforce was bigger than ever this year, with well over 170,000 attendees descending upon central San Francisco. It was a tough week, but I think it's fair to say it went better than we could ever have expected.
Our booth, in the heart of the DevZone, was packed from open to close every day - not surprising given we gave over 600 demos during the week! The whole team was blown away by the positive response and the level of engagement from the community. To each and everyone who came along to our booth for a chat, a demo or just to collect one of our swanky t-shirts: thank you!
