• What is Release Management in Salesforce DevOps?

2
Traditional Salesforce Release Management

• Before Salesforce DevOps came into existence,
  developers used to (and still) build SF apps
  using the waterfall method. In this method, the
  developers are offered various kinds of Sandboxes
  where they can develop Salesforce apps or upgrade
  existing ones. The release management looks like
  this
• Developer develops an SF app in the Sandbox.
• The code then goes to the Integration org where
  it is tested for bugs and inconsistencies.
• If everything looks good, it goes next to the UAT
  org where its performance is checked against the
  requirement.
• Finally, the app goes to the staging environment
  and then to Production.

How Release Management in Salesforce DevOps Works

• SF and DevOps is a match made in heaven. Just
  like in other programming-heavy industries,
  DevOps has brought the Development and
  Operations, teams, closer with Salesforce
  DevOps, the same thing is happening in
  organizations that depend on Salesforce.
• Unlike the traditional model, typical release
  management in DevOps entails
• Version control
• Ci/CD pipeline
• 26 releases per year as opposed to just 4
  releases in the traditional model.

The release management Works like this

• Developers transfer the code from the Sandbox to
  a version control system.
• The version control system is integrated with the
  CI/CD platform.
• The units of code are tested by the Integration
  org leveraging the CI server. These tests happen
  during the development process. Every time a
  cohesive unit of code is sent to the repository,
  it is automatically tested.
• Once the test passes, the code is promoted to the
  Integration org and then to UAT org. After
  further tests, it is deployed to the Staging
  environment and then to Production. This
  continuous deployment is also an automated
  process. 
• This entire release management in SF happens
  automatically.
