Lesson 2: Two Different Worlds

Salesforce and Git operate on fundamentally different models. This lesson explains the structural gap that makes standard DevOps tooling the wrong fit.

Each topic below covers a building block of this lesson. We recommend following them in sequence as each builds on the last.

Why Git and Salesforce differ in kind, not just degree, including the topology inversion that makes standard branching fail.

Git was built for developers; Salesforce was built for admins, and the audience mismatch creates mandatory translation overhead that scales poorly.

Why This Difference Matters

Three consequences of the design gap — topology inversion, absent back-sync path, and compounding drift — that produce real release failures.
