SALESFORCE DEVELOPER

In simple and layman terms, Salesforce Developer is anyone that designs and develops the platform of Salesforce for an organization. A Salesforce Developer is responsible for the building and deployment of all the specific tools and platforms available in Salesforce CRM according to the requirements of the clients.

However, the Salesforce Developer organization is a platform by Force.com which can be utilized to extend, integrate and develop Salesforce tools without affecting the production environment (where the active paying users are accessing business data). Our services are dedicated to helping you build your Salesforce Developer account, which can be used to leverage the overall functionality of the CRM platform.

Our team at Techila Global Services helps you implement the three major Salesforce Developer organizations – Developer Edition, Partner Developer Edition, and Sandbox.

Salesforce Developer Edition

 This is a Salesforce edition that is essentially a fully-featured copy of the Enterprise edition org with lesser users and storage. As a free Salesforce Developer org, Developer Edition is technically a separate development environment that can help you in the initial stages of Salesforce Development.

There is no limit to the number of Developer Editions you can sign-up for. With a single Salesforce Developer login, the platform allows users to design and develop applications for any of the Salesforce Production environment according to your requirements.

Salesforce Developer Edition is an API enabled platform having a data storage capacity of 5MB that comes with 2 full CRM licenses and 3 Force.com licenses to operate.

We would recommend you to go ahead with the Developer Edition is you are a partner willing to use the platform of Salesforce AppExchange and/or Trialforce to create a managed package for distribution. You can also subscribe to this Salesforce Developer org if you possess Salesforce Professional, Group, or Personal edition but do not have access to Sandbox.

Salesforce Partner Developer Edition

This is essentially a type of Developer Edition having greater storage capacity, licenses, and features. It is an API enabled platform that is free for the enrolled Salesforce Partners. With the data storage capacity of 250 MB that can manage 125,000 records, Partner Developer Edition comes with 20 full CRM licenses and 20 Force.com Platform licenses.

Salesforce Partner Developer edition is recommended in case you are developing a team and require a master developer to manage the entire source code. It is also an ideal option to go for if you are not expecting a single Salesforce Developer login, but two of them for development and testing purposes. If the operational scale of your enterprise is sufficiently large and you require a large environment allowing more users to run tests against larger data sets, Partner Developer edition is the best option to choose.

Salesforce Sandbox

Salesforce Sandbox is nothing but an almost identical copy of your production organisation that is essentially available to the Enterprise or Unlimited edition users. Sandboxes may include data sets, configurations, or both, according to your requirements.

Depending on your development and testing requirements, you can create multiple Sandboxes in your Salesforce Developer org without affecting the data and applications present in your production environment. There are three major types of Salesforce Sandboxes you can create:

• Full Sandbox – This is a complete copy of your production organization that includes all data and configurations. A user can order a maximum of 3 Full Sandboxes. The data storage and licenses pertaining to this Sandbox is also identical to those of the production environment.
• Partial Copy Sandbox – This is a near-identical copy that allows you to copy the customization and a specific sample of that data belonging to your production environment. A user can order a maximum of 6 Partial Copy Sandboxes that come with the licenses that are identical to those of the production environment. The storage capacity of this Sandbox is up to 5GB data and 5GB file storage, facilitating the management of 2.5 million Salesforce records.
• Developer Pro Sandbox – This is the Salesforce Sandbox that allows you to copy all the customizations but does not copy the production data from your production organization. It comes with the same licenses as the production environment, with the storage capacity of 1GB data and 1GB file storage, facilitating management of around 500,000 Salesforce records.

We will help you decide which Sandbox is ideal for your organization. In general, it is advisable to go for a Salesforce Sandbox if you are a Salesforce user having the Enterprise, Unlimited or Force.com edition that includes the provision for Sandbox. You can also opt for a Sandbox if you are developing a Force.com application particularly for your production organization and want to test it thoroughly before deployment.

A lot of considerations go into the process of Salesforce Development. We offer our Salesforce Developer services through specific developer centres. Each of these centres serves a specific purpose and facilitates development of specific Salesforce tools and platforms.
