Overview

Scratch orgs, like development sandboxes, don’t include data when created. Because scratch orgs are typically created and dissolved on a daily basis, quickly and easily adding data to and deploying data from scratch orgs is critical for developer productivity. Prodly provides a Salesforce DX plugin so Salesforce developers can easily seed their scratch orgs with data and/or deploy data to and from any Salesforce environment directly using the sfdx command line interface.

The plugin allows you to deploy data between these environment types for any environment you have credentials to access:

• From a developer hub (dev hub) org to a scratch org.
• From any environment to a scratch org.
• From a scratch org to any environment, except a dev hub org.
• From any non-scratch org to any non-scratch org.

Some example use cases:

• Copy a subset of data from an existing production environment to a scratch org for testing purposes.
• After developing and testing an application using scratch orgs, deploy the changes to a centralized sandbox.
• Mimic the typical environment-to-environment deployment you do from the Release user interface.
