What is Salesforce DX (SFDX)? Tools and features explained
The vendor article explains Salesforce DX, a set of features from 2018 for source-driven development on Salesforce, covering the DX source format, Salesforce CLI v2 with sf commands replacing deprecated sfdx commands, scratch orgs with a 30-day maximum lifetime, and second-generation packaging. It states that the DX tools are free to use and that Salesforce DevOps Center was released in 2022. The article also promotes Gearset's tooling and cites a State of Salesforce DevOps 2026 report for a figure that 30% of teams report merge conflicts affect scaling.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams on Salesforce get a summary of the DX source format, CLI command migration from sfdx to sf, and scratch org and 2GP options to evaluate. The article itself announces no new capability and most of its content is an overview of existing features.
