And there were no other industry analysts exclusively focused on the subject.<\/p>\r\n<details>\r\n<summary>Read Vern&#8217;s Salesforce devops story&#8230;<\/summary>\r\n<h3>Make A List<\/h3>\r\n<p>To kick off my practice as the only independent writer and analyst exclusively focused on the Salesforce software development market, I assembled a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1QZkwzbsEfRiu1-FYMemgDEbBWCmQ0gMBEZOwZd-SX20\/edit?usp=sharing\">Salesforce Devops ISVs &amp; Tools as a Google Sheet<\/a>.. For further information about my consulting and analyst services, please check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/index.php\/keenan-vision\/\">Keenan Vision Subscription page<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Worry About Growth<\/h3>\r\n<p>Salesforce is skyrocketing in use by larger enterprises, as is shown in its <a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/index.php\/2021\/05\/28\/dreamforce-is-on-and-salesforce-earnings-are-historic\/\">latest financial results<\/a>. These are exciting results for every vendor in the Salesforce ecosystem, but as an industry observer, I am concerned about long-term success. I wonder if the app production tools exist to fully meet the expectations now put on the Salesforce platform.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since demand for app production resources currently outpaces the global Salesforce talent pool, application backlogs could slow further Salesforce adoption, possibly resulting in a customer backlash if needs are not met.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Bring The Devops Way To Salesforce<\/h3>\r\n<p>That is why I educate the Salesforce community about devops. Because I believe that learning from the &#8220;regular devops&#8221; world will empower Salesforce app development teams to succeed.<\/p>\r\n<p>But, as a software engineer who understands the Salesforce platform, I also know how different Salesforce software development is from that world. That is why provide a constant Salesforce-specific perspective on devops.<\/p>\r\n<p>To find out more, please be sure to checkout my cornerstone article, <a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/index.php\/2021\/04\/08\/use-the-salesforce-devops-segmentation-model-for-it-success\/\">Segmentation Model for IT Success<\/a>, for more information.<\/p>\r\n<h3>The Cyberwar Is Real<\/h3>\r\n<p>I am also concerned about how <a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/index.php\/2021\/05\/17\/we-are-all-cyberwarriors-now\/\">cyberwar<\/a> is now having an impact on how we operate our democracies and how that will impact IT app teams, and Salesforce teams in particular. As the industry looks to &#8220;shift left,&#8221; or integrate security practices into the lower-level parts of the code production cycle, I will educate the Salesforce developer community on how to be the best cyberwarriors.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Map Maker<\/h3>\r\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content -->My original goal of making a list of Salesforce devops resources has evolved to a full ontological analysis of the vendors, consultants, customers, and global system integrators involved in Salesforce application development.<\/p>\r\n<p>My work as an industry analyst is as an ontologist, or map-maker. By examining how products are used by customers, I curate lists of companies to present options to Salesforce architects.<\/p>\r\n<p>The result is a graph database available here. The map currently organizes vendors and products according to broad topics and categories.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Salesforce Devops Free Services<\/h3>\r\n<p>SalesforceDevops.net is a free industry resource. Vendors are welcome to submit their product for a free listing in the Salesforce Devops Industry Map.
