Change Sets turn 16 this year. They haven't aged well. No source control. No record support. Read-only once uploaded. And a UX that makes you manually hunt down every dependency. Salesforce just gave admins a proper alternative, DX Inspector.

→ Automatic change tracking → Optional DevOps Center integration for source control, PRs and audit trails It's not a total replacement for a mature CI/CD setup, DevOps Center or a third party tool still earns its place there.

Change Sets turn 16 this year. They haven't aged well. No source control. No record support. Read-only once uploaded. And a UX that makes you manually hunt down every dependency. Salesforce just gave admins a proper alternative, DX Inspector.

If Change Sets are still how your org deploys, you select components one by one, hoping you didn’t miss a dependency, then watching your Changes go read-only once uploaded. Change Sets haven’t meaningfully changed since 2010, and there hasn’t been a real native alternative. Until now.

My new article for Salesforce Ben covers DX Inspector. This deploys data & metadata, stays editable until you deploy, works across sandboxes, scratch orgs, developer orgs and production orgs and supports Source Control via DevOps Centre.

I've submitted a Idea to bring "Formula Evaluates to True" to Scheduled Flows, helping bring them in line with Record-Triggered Flows. If this would make your life easier too, I'd really appreciate an upvote! 🙌 ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0BHp...

I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve been selected as part of the inaugural Salesforce Architect Ambassador Pilot Cohort. 🎉 Architecture has always been about more than designing solutions. It’s about helping people, sharing what we’ve learned, mentoring others, and community!

A huge thank you to the Salesforce Architects Relations team for this opportunity, and congratulations to everyone selected for the inaugural cohort. I can’t wait to see what we build together.

Excited to have been renewed as a Salesforce MVP for another year! 💙 A huge congratulations to everyone joining the Salesforce MVP Class of 2026, to those who have been renewed, and to the incredible members moving into the Salesforce MVP Hall of Fame. 🎉

Join me at Agentforce World Tour London for a Community Networking Session on "Explore How AI Can Boost Productivity for Nonprofits" This In-Person session will take place on June 18th @ 13:30 - 14:15 BST in the Community Networking Area within the Campground on Level 0.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, I’ve been diving into Claude Code and exploring a range of other Claude use cases to understand how AI can help nonprofit clients increase their impact and deliver even greater outcomes. verify.skilljar.com/c/ouvaozvrnv2z

Thanks to the support and encouragement of Vera Solutions, that journey has now resulted in a shiny new certification. Looking forward to continuing to explore how AI can empower mission-driven organisations and the communities they serve.
