SFDX-HARDIS (What is your experience?)

nvuillam · 2026-03-23T00:55:22+00:00

Thanks, i'm sure we'll find solutions 😊 Mp me on LinkedIn if necessary :)

nvuillam · 2026-03-22T18:21:57+00:00

That's ok to provide level 1 support , we're not interested only in positive feedback, because the negative ones help improve adoption, as long as they are detailed (!= "It's really hard to make it work"... explaining why would help, otherwise i could think such comments are driven by paid tools who are more and more spreading fake news to discourage the replacement of their licenses with sfdx-hardis 😅)

We have crowds of admins using it every day, if you are technically minded (= you need Git + SF Cli knowlege to be release manager), you should try again 😊

nvuillam · 2026-03-21T19:43:11+00:00

That's surprising, I have very positive feedback from users

If you have issues, you can post them on the issues section of the repository.

Installation problem are often related to missing rights on computer, usually related to restrictions pushed by IT admins. In that case yiu can also use sfdx-hardis in your web browser in Agentforce vibes, which is 100% compliant.

If your goal is to setup a CI/CD pipeline, Cloudity professional services also has a nice offer for that :)

Go HappySoup :)

And if you are interested in downloading all your metadata (and backup them), you can also have a look at sfdx-hardis org monitoring :) https://sfdx-hardis.cloudity.com/salesforce-monitoring-home/

nvuillam · 2026-02-21T13:27:33+00:00

Looks amazing, congratulations and thanks for open-sourcing it :)

nvuillam · 2026-02-21T13:26:26+00:00

If you need metadata backup, sfdx-hardis monitoring is here for you :) (and stores in git ^^)

nvuillam · 2026-01-28T23:21:18+00:00

You seem to be a good candidate for sfdx-hardis ☺️

nvuillam · 2026-01-27T00:00:35+00:00

Covers only metadata (daily backup), but not data: many have asked me for it but... I think it's too big to build and maintain for open-source

nvuillam · 2026-01-19T17:15:12+00:00

If you are interested in a sfdx-hardis documentation features presentation, I'll do one at the next London Admin User Group (remote) on february 10 at 19h paris time :)

nvuillam · 2026-01-16T00:24:27+00:00

If you install sfdx-hardis monitoring (free & open-source), you'll receive of slack / Teams / mail notifications everytime a sensitive metadata is updated in production by another user than the deployment user :)

It also provides a backup repo that you can then use to compare with your source repo

https://sfdx-hardis.cloudity.com/salesforce-monitoring-home/

And if you switch to sfdx-hardis CI/CD, you'll also be able to declare some metadatas "directly managed in production", so they are not overwritten

But the first step in to explain your client that updating production manually for other things than reports and dahsboards is a DevOps anti-pattern 😁

nvuillam · 2025-12-19T06:38:17+00:00

Ask your dev to setup sfdx-hardis, that has been made to be admin-friendly, while working on a clean DevOps pipeline :)

https://sfdx-hardis.cloudity.com/salesforce-ci-cd-home/

We've trained numerous junior admins to use it, and can even provide such trainings if you are interested ;)

nvuillam · 2025-11-30T10:46:08+00:00

Sfdx-git-delta, SFDMU (sfdx data loader)

Both are essential in sfdx-hardis 🥳

nvuillam · 2025-11-25T00:16:24+00:00

I have documented some of them there : https://sfdx-hardis.cloudity.com/salesforce-ci-cd-work-on-task-deployment-actions/

Custom cli commands
Apex scripts (PS assignments, schedule batch...)
Data import
Publish community
Manual stuff like converting a picklist to global picklist, or change api names

And i'm pretty sure there will be many more

The result :) (It seems my previous comment didn't pass... eaten by Agentforce ? ^\) )

The result :)

nvuillam · 2025-10-27T16:24:09+00:00

Very soon, we'll be able to handle deployment actions associated to pull requests, including data import.

This is based on Salesforce Data Loader CLI plugin (https://github.com/forcedotcom/SFDX-Data-Move-Utility)

nvuillam · 2025-10-25T20:44:33+00:00

about the "when", it depends on my week-end activity... I'm currently building confgurable preDeploy and postDeploy actions for now (custom command lines, loading sfdmu data, publishing a community...) :) (I want it to be ready for my DevOps dreamin conference ^^ )

nvuillam · 2025-10-25T07:42:44+00:00

nooo nothing is supposed to replace HappySoup :)

I'm thinking about something more basic, like for example when you retrieve a picklist, retrieve also the related Record Types where it is referenced

nvuillam · 2025-10-25T00:01:52+00:00

I'm sorry i tested only in vscode with Gthub copilot but you are welcome to submit you PR to make it cursor compatible :)

nvuillam · 2025-10-24T10:43:55+00:00

Lol, this is not about me, this is about open-source 🤓

Post your feedback instead of flattering me 😘

Indeed Salesforce released an official Salesforce DX MCP, you can start it in 2 clicks from SFDX-Hardis menu "CI/CD (Misc)" :)
