Best Practices To Avoid Breaking Production Org

Here are some general scenarios and best practices that Salesforce developers can follow to avoid breaking production org:

1. Test thoroughly in a sandbox before deployment:

It's always recommended to test thoroughly in a sandbox environment before deploying to the production environment. Ensure that all unit tests and integration tests have passed and that your changes don't break any existing functionality.

2. Collaborate with your team:

Before deploying to production, collaborate with your team members, discuss any potential issues or concerns, and ensure everyone is aware of the changes being made.

3. Use version control:

Use version control to keep track of changes and make sure you're not overwriting any code or configuration that's still being used by the system. You can use tools like Git, SVN, etc.

4. Keep track of change sets:

Use change sets to deploy changes to production, and make sure you're not deploying any unwanted changes. Review changes in the change sets carefully before deploying.

5. Backup data:

Take a backup of your data before deploying changes. This ensures that you can roll back to the previous state if something goes wrong during deployment.

6. Deploy during off-peak hours:

Deploy during off-peak hours, so that any issues can be resolved without much impact on users.

7. Communicate with the users:

Communicate with the users before and after deployment to let them know about the changes and any potential impact on their daily work.

By following these best practices, salesforce developers can avoid production breaks and ensure that their changes are deployed correctly and safely.
