Have you heard about Salesforce DX? It is a new Salesforce Development paradigm that was released in Beta as part of the Summer ‘17 release. As of right now, it isn’t available as a full, general release. Although there currently isn’t a schedule for a general release, read on for a quick preview of how Salesforce DX could change the entire development process on Salesforce.
The Salesforce Developer Experience (DX) introduces a new development paradigm that shifts from the traditional system of org based development, where a Salesforce org is the source of truth, to a modern one based around metadata and source control. This change in process is designed to improve quality and time to market through continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), and even make a more flexible, powerful release process. It could be a real game changer for Salesforce development!

As time goes by, so many apps and products built for Salesforce are becoming more and more sophisticated and complex. To keep up with all this increasing complexity, developers also have to continually create new and improved systems and configurations. In response, Salesforce.com is releasing a much requested Apex Metadata API in the Summer 2017 release.
The three primary uses for the Apex Metadata API are:
- Self-configuring apps
- Upgrade scripts
- Custom setup UIs
To break it down to simplest parts, here are the key features of this new Metadata API:
- Access two metadata types: page layouts and records of custom metadata types
- Retrieve their metadata synchronously
- Create and update their metadata via asynchronous deploy
- Setup a callback on completion
- Trust your apps: installed packages must be “ApexCertified” or the subscriber org must turn on a setting to allow an Apex metadata deploy
- Track the namespace that initiated a deploy in the setup audit trail
