Pipelines

Control your entire pipeline with a complete end-to-end Salesforce CI/CD solution

Visualize and manage your entire development lifecycle

Harness the power of your DevOps pipeline

Create an automated pipeline that delivers, without the headaches. Gearset solves fundamental challenges, so even the most complex release processes are streamlined and easy to manage.

A clear view of your CI/CD pipeline

  • Track changes across multiple branches and environments
  • See each environment’s live status: stable, merging, conflicts
  • Automatic syncing keeps your environments up to date

Stay in sync and aligned

  • Automatically update your user stories, ticketing tool and Git provider
  • Sync the latest changes back to your developer sandbox in one click
  • Deploy metadata, CPQ, and Vlocity alongside each other

Seamless collaboration for all teammates

  • Help your team follow the same branching strategy and processes
  • Empower no-code teammates with a user-friendly, side-by-side interface
  • Allow developers to use the Salesforce CLI without creating silos
  • Add pre- and post-deployment steps to your releases to standardize your processes

Expertise trusted by thousands of customers

Pipelines allows different teammates to work on the same Salesforce metadata without overwriting each other’s work. It allows each team to operate independently while keeping orgs in sync.

Take the pain out of merge conflicts

  • Choose specific elements of each conflicted file to combine the best parts of each branch
  • Gearset saves your conflict resolutions, and flags when you can reuse them across later environments
  • Experience fewer merge conflicts with Gearset’s intelligent merge algorithm

Deliver parallel long-term projects on one pipeline

  • Create long-term development projects without immediately pushing updates to production
  • Work on projects in parallel to the rest of your pipeline, and merge with a single PR when ready
  • Integrate ’business as usual’ changes into your project stream, keeping pace with regular releases

Works with your tech stack, not against it

Tight integrations keep everything in lockstep, making Gearset the source of truth and command center for your release process — no matter where and how changes are made.

Pipeline FAQs

Gearset supports all the major Git hosting providers, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and AWS Code Commit. For more detail, see our integrations page.

Pipelines currently uses a model similar to the expanded branching strategy, which is designed to balance DevOps best practices and the requirements for most Salesforce development teams. You can learn more about the model in our documentation.

CI jobs are the individual tasks that make up a continuous integration and continuous delivery process. Each job builds, tests, and validates code every time changes are made. Gearset’s Pipelines brings together multiple CI jobs and enables end-to-end CI/CD pipeline visualization. It allows you to track pull requests, automatically sync orgs and enforce your desired branching strategy. Gearset Pipelines has a whole suite of functionality that makes management of CI jobs much easier.

Gearset supports all types that can be retrieved via Salesforce’s Metadata API.

Gearset’s unique merge algorithm understands Salesforce metadata, so unlike git, it can differentiate between genuine conflicts and unnecessary conflicts.

For example, sometimes conflicting changes within the same XML tag lead to the same behavior in a Salesforce org. Your VCS will still consider it a conflict, whereas Gearset knows this doesn’t represent a genuine issue, so will automatically resolve the conflict. Merge conflicts happen less often in Gearset, and when they do occur, they indicate genuine issues.

Yes, Pipelines is available for the Starter, Teams and Enterprise tiers of Gearset’s Automate offering.
