Hi Bala, Yes you can do CI/CD without scratch orgs. You will have to commit the metadata to the repo. Thanks and Regards

Appreciate you on sharing knowledge. We are planning to implement the CICD for SFDC sales application, currently we team using changesets to deploy in different orgs like (Dev, SIT, UAT, PROD) manually. Here Dev Org is used by the Dev team, and the CICD tool is GITLAB. Here I have question: I am actually a DevOps person not background on Salesforce, can we implement CICD without scratch org for deploying packages into different orgs ? No Static code analysis and no automation testing available in current application. Since application is dependent on manual testing at each level, after package metadata, should we commit metadata package back to Git repo into different directory for deploying to higher environments ? Thanks a lot for your support. Appreciate you. Regards, Bala — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

Hi Shrivastava,

Regarding, the profiles and permission sets automated deployment into sandboxes and PROD through CICD.
While using scratch org model development, I could see that it is creating entire package of force-app directory, if entire force-app directory is deployed into any sandbox which would take more time to do the deployment right. Instead of that what would be easy approach to do deployment while using scratch orgs and
How are maintaining the code in Git repo like Feature branch(what it contains - Only feature changes or entire source code)
After creating a scratch org (empty) while pushing code the scratch org ( it's throwing many errors and we have more than 15000+ components certainly which are taking more time and failing to push). Need suggestion on move forward further at this point.
Thanks for your support and appreciate you.

@balanandam Scratch Org has limitation of 10k metadata components. Were you able to proceed, if so please share your journey too.

Hello Mohith,
I am trying to create package.xml for Salesforce CPQ only. Can you please please help me on this. I sincerely appreciate it.

Goutam
