Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for deploying our work in multiple orgs across the company. Used it for migrating data between two completely different orgs ( Sales & Service) by creating data templates. Used it for metadata deployments as well to migrate all the layouts, fields, validation rules etc. We use it as our CI/CD pipleline manily

Pros

  • Capturing latest changes accurately in the commit window
  • Auto resolving conflicts
  • gate checks for apex code coverage.
  • Giving insights into the validation errors
  • very easy to migrate data & metadata between orgs, just with few clicks

Cons

  • For data migration, they can increase the limitations
  • The table of components in the build section can be improved
  • Hard to understand how to destructive changes. Sometimes facing issued after deleting the field or component that need to be deleted with destructive changes

Return on Investment

  • biggest positive impact is speed and consistency of our releases. With all the git operations managed by its own. Very easy to maintain. Easy to track all the changes within the Copado org. Before we used to track down everything on excel sheet
  • Very helpful with the mass back promotions. Before we used to refresh our sandboxes and some projects which are not ready were wiped off and we had take backups and then build them again. with the back promotions, our life became very easy
  • only negative is with the team size growing, we need to buy more licenses. This doesn’t fall under the devops process that our company has. It is in a siloed environment.

Pros

  • Deployments from one org to other org is great using Copado
  • User stories will be synced with Copado and accordingly, we can select and commit the data to the feature branch
  • Git operation are performed very well to the repos
  • We can track the deployments under user stories at which stage the deployment has reached
  • It has an inbuilt apex test run and static code analysis which can help the deployment and getting the errors better
  • Direct metadata can be selected from all the metadata and changes can be committed accordingly

Cons

  • Back promotions are sometimes difficult and behave in a weird manner
  • After the deployment to production next changes in the pull request shows all the changes from the previous release as well
  • Cannot be used through mobile

Most Important Features

  • Deployments in a organized manner is the most important aspect of Copado
  • Sync of user stories from Azzure board directly to Copado and creating user stories in maintenance org is a most important aspect
  • Performing and managing Git repositories can be done within few click in Copado
  • Apex test run and static code analysis is important to be done
  • Tracking of the deployments can be done using Copado on checking the status of the user story

Return on Investment

  • It has reduced the efforts to create package.xml manually and deploy the changes
  • Another positive impact is that we can track the commits to which org they have reached in an organized way and we don't need to maintain them separately
  • For setting Copado it take a lot of time and training is required for the complete setup which is time-consuming
