Salesforce Production Readiness Gate

Overview

Convert a release candidate into an evidence-backed go or no-go decision with named owners, bounded execution, and tested recovery.

Prerequisites

• Immutable release candidate, change record, production org, maintenance window, and business owner
• Validated metadata and integration dependencies, API versions, permissions, limits, data mappings, and test evidence
• Canary, reconciliation, rollback or compensating action, communications, and Salesforce Support plans

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect approved repository and evidence files, WebFetch to re-check current first-party Salesforce documentation, and Write or Edit only for secretless plans, fixtures, configuration, and redacted receipts.

Current Contract

Salesforce release behavior depends on org metadata, automation, permissions, seasonal version, API support, entitlements, and shared capacity. Validation in a lower org reduces risk but does not prove production parity.
