Hi everyone, I’m gathering some benchmark data on Salesforce delivery operations and release management practices. The survey is very short (5 questions) and focused on understanding:

• Release frequency
• Deployment volume
• Average feature throughput
• Scale of delivery operations

1. How big is your team?
2. On average, how many releases does your team deploy to production per month?
3. On average, how many features are included in a single release?
4. On average, how many bug fixes are included in a single release?
5. Approximately how many deployments from testing/staging environments to production does your team perform per month?

If you've worked with tools like Gearset, Copado, Salesforce CLI, or something else, we'd love to hear from you. 

Opinions in the comments are welcome too. Thank you!

If you're using Agentforce Vibes in your Salesforce orgs, there's a billing transition coming.

What's already changed (April 13)

The free tier got updated. You now get 110 requests or 1.5M tokens per org per month on Claude Sonnet 4.5 (the Pro model), with GPT-5 mini as fallback. Previously it was 50 requests/1M tokens per day on GPT-5, so the monthly cap is actually more generous if your usage is spread out, but if you were hammering it daily, you'll feel the difference.

What's changing June 1st

Free access ends for all non-Developer Edition orgs. To keep using Vibes after that you'll need either Flex Credits or the Unmetered Platform Developer and Admin AI User PSL.

Developer Edition orgs get to keep limited free access (110 requests / 1.5M tokens on Claude Sonnet 4.5) but it's lifetime, not monthly, so it doesn't reset.

The model setup going forward

Two-tier approach: Claude Sonnet 4.5 as Pro, GPT-5 mini as Core fallback. Inline autocomplete runs on GPT-4.1 with a separate daily limit of 1,500 requests or 15,000 tokens.

What to do now

Check which of your non-DE orgs are actually using Vibes, figure out whether Flex Credits or the PSL route makes more sense for your team, and don't get caught off guard on June 1st.

Anyone already on the paid tier, curious what the Flex Credit consumption looks like in practice.
