Metazoa<\/a>, a Los Gatos, California-based provider of Salesforce devops tools, yesterday announced a new product called Cascade available for free. More details can be found on the Salesforce AppExchange<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a prepared statement, the company said “Metazoa Cascade combines powerful DevOps tooling with Sprint and User Story management capabilities designed to enhance collaboration between Salesforce administrators and developers. A native Salesforce application, Cascade is fully integrated with Salesforce Clouds and Salesforce DX.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time To Stack Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember this diagram? It is my way of segmenting devops in general, and Salesforce devops in particular. Check out this post for more details<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metazoa Cascade fits into my Application Management Lifecycle (AML) layer. It is a lightweight version of an agile tool, and it should help with managing and invoking orchestration and CI\/CD deployment management tools. Cascade is meant to work with Metazoa’s other products, but can be used by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let The Products Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salesforce devops is a tsunami of activity right now. The vendors are scrambling to meet the demand, buyers are feeling the pressure to make a decision, and investors are on the sidelines ready to fund the next devops founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have seen this before in the Salesforce ecosystem. Think back to the quote-to-cash days. All of this activity means the “Devops Engineering” layer in my diagram will steadily replace human labor with automation. I am among those that believe that being a devops engineer will eventually become obsolete as we push enterprise application development up the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
