If you’ve ever managed a Salesforce environment for a long time—or inherited one from a previous consultant—you know the feeling. You start to wonder: How many of these Apex classes are running on ancient API versions? Are our automated flows actually active? Why did that scheduled job fail silently three days ago?

Maintaining a Salesforce org shouldn’t feel like detective work.

Realistic Salesforce test data — generated safely and instantly

Testing Salesforce features properly requires good data.
Flows, validation rules, automation, and integrations all behave differently depending on the structure and volume of records in your org.

But copying production data into sandboxes is risky and often restricted due to privacy or compliance policies.
Creating test data manually is slow and rarely reproduces real-world scenarios.

mtdt solves this with integrated Snowfakery support — allowing teams to generate structured, realistic Salesforce data safely and automatically.

We’ve all been there: a critical migration fails or a user can’t save a record because of the dreaded "Storage Full" notification. In the Salesforce world, hitting your data limit usually means two things: a frantic cleanup session or a very expensive invoice for extra gigabytes.

But beyond the cost, there’s a bigger question of Control. Does your security team really want your historical backups sitting in a third-party "black box"? Or should that data live in your own corporate-governed AWS, Azure, or S3 bucket?

At mtdt, we believe you should own your data—literally. We don’t want to be your "data jailer." Instead of forcing you to use our storage, we let you plug in your own cloud providers. This gives you the freedom to archive, protect, and manage your Salesforce data on your own terms.

See exactly what changed between your Salesforce orgs — instantly.

When you manage multiple Salesforce orgs, keeping them in sync can feel like chasing shadows.
Sandboxes evolve. Production changes. Someone tweaks a permission in one environment and forgets to push it to another.
Over time, you start wondering: what’s actually different between these orgs?

That question is now easy to answer.

mtdt introduces a faster, smarter way to compare metadata between orgs — the new Comparison feature.

Smarter, safer, and fully controlled Salesforce metadata delivery

In real Salesforce projects, deployments rarely happen in perfect sequence. You might deploy several features to UAT at different times – Feature A, Feature B, and Feature C – but only A and B are approved for production.

Until now, managing such partial releases meant juggling change sets, comparing metadata manually, or rebuilding deployment packages from scratch.

mtdt introduces a better way: Archives.

If you’ve ever tried moving a Salesforce CPQ configuration from one org to another, you already know how painful it can be. You’re not just dealing with metadata – you’re dealing with metadata and data, which means jumping between multiple tools, exporting and importing CSVs, resolving weird ID mismatches, and praying nothing breaks.

We’ve been there too. That’s exactly why we built the CPQ Migration in mtdt – to make this whole process actually manageable (and dare we say, pleasant).

Profiles in Salesforce are powerful... and frustrating. They define what users can see and do, but managing them across environments has long been a complex task for admins and developers. If you’ve ever tried to change the license type of a profile, migrate a community profile to internal users, or even just clone an existing profile with slight modifications, you’ve likely hit a wall of Salesforce limitations.

The new Profile Cloner in mtdt is built to change that.

If you’ve ever deployed something to production in Salesforce and thought, “Oh no, I should’ve changed that one thing…” – this is for you. With mtdt, you can edit your components right before deploying, no need to go back to the sandbox or repackage everything. It’s like having a final review button with actual power.

Let’s be honest: hitting that “Deploy” button in Salesforce can feel like holding your breath and hoping for the best, especially when you're just starting your admin career. If you've ever worried about missing components, weird metadata errors, or dependencies you didn’t know existed… you’re definitely not alone.

That’s exactly why we built mtdt! The new platform that makes Salesforce deployments way easier, especially for Admins.

Salesforce is a powerful and flexible platform that can transform how organizations manage customer relationships, automate processes, and drive growth. With the right setup, Salesforce can become a key part of your business success. From managing leads and customers to automating day-to-day tasks, it’s packed with features that help you grow smarter. But let’s be honest — getting Salesforce up and running the right way isn’t always easy.

If you’re in the middle of an implementation (or already knee-deep in it), you might be facing some bumps in the road. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here are the most common Salesforce rollout issues and practical tips to fix them without breaking the bank.
