How to deploy data kits in Salesforce Data 360
Gearset's blog explains that Salesforce Data 360 data kits can deploy without their contained components, because retrieving a DataPackageKitDefinition returns only the list of contents. It describes a Gearset workflow that builds the package with dependencies, validates the kit, and adds a post-deployment activation step that runs Salesforce's separate publish process. The post also notes that Direct Deploy is available for some Data 360 components outside of kits, but not in automated CI jobs.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams deploying Data 360 config through pipelines need a publish or activation step per environment, since a deployment can report success while data streams stay inert. Teams using a different tool would need to handle component retrieval, dependency ordering and activation themselves.
