Salesforce Developer Experience (DX) is a brand new way to develop and manage apps on the Lightning Platform across the entire life cycle. It combines the best of the Lightning Platform to enable source-driven development, team collaboration with governance, and new levels of agility for custom app development on Salesforce. Salesforce DX is much more than just a new set of tools. It provides an alternative to change set development and shifts the source of truth from the org to version control system (VCS). It shifts our development focus from org development to package development.
