Program Overview: What is Copado?
Copado is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for Salesforce release teams drowning in change sets and deployment anxiety. Participants learn DevOps foundations on the Salesforce platform, Copado essentials from orgs to pipelines, source-driven delivery with Git, continuous integration with automated testing, and release governance with compliance and reporting. Every lab runs in live Copado pipelines connected to real Salesforce orgs.
Training mirrors your release workflow exactly. Teams construct pipelines, practice Git branching and pull requests, build CI jobs with quality gates, and rehearse rollback procedures in live environments with instructor review. Governance exercises cover compliance and reporting. The program closes with a capstone where each team plans and ships a full release end to end.
Manual change-set deployments, untracked org drift, and release-day firefights are the Salesforce tax nobody budgeted for. Without pipeline discipline, every release is a gamble and every hotfix is a hope. This program teaches source-driven delivery, automated testing with quality gates, and governed releases, so your team ships with the confidence DevOps teams expect everywhere else.
The capstone release is the moment the anxiety ends: your team plans and ships a full Salesforce release end to end, branched in Git, tested through CI, quality-gated, governed, and rolled back on demand, in a live Copado pipeline under instructor review. It becomes your new release runbook, proven before it ever touches production. Change sets stop being the process; the pipeline becomes the process, and release day becomes just another day.
Your team works in live Copado pipelines connected to real Salesforce orgs. Early modules cover the metadata model, org strategy, and pipeline construction. Practice modules build skills in Git branching, pull requests, CI jobs, quality gates, and rollback procedures. The capstone has each team plan and ship a full release end to end, with instructor review. Delivery is instructor-led, live virtual or onsite, and every lab mirrors the workflows your release team owns.

Connect Salesforce Release Work With Source Control and Tested Copado Pipelines
Edstellar develops Copado capability by connecting Salesforce metadata, Git workflows, and automated release controls. Participants promote changes through a training pipeline and examine test, approval, and rollback evidence. The final release review assesses traceability from user story to deployment decisions and the clarity of lessons captured in the retrospective.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore Salesforce release responsibilities and Git familiarity to identify gaps in metadata tracking, pipeline setup, automated gates, and approval evidence.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish Salesforce DevOps foundations before Copado setup and source-driven changes, then CI testing, governance, and the complete release-cycle exercise.
- Step 03
Align
We align Copado instruction with Salesforce admin, developer, and release-manager roles, confirming suitable practice orgs and support for source-control newcomers.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample metadata changes, promotion paths, and approval scenarios to familiar release workflows while keeping training deployments separate from business-critical orgs.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants branch and promote metadata, configure test gates, and practice rollback, receiving feedback on change traceability, approval records, and pipeline behavior.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the release cycle for consistent source history, demonstrated gates and recovery, complete approval evidence, and actionable findings in the retrospective.
