Lifecycle Center (formerly DevOps Center)
Salesforce's own free change and release tool, with a visual pipeline on top of Git.
Lifecycle Center (formerly DevOps Center) tracks changes as you make them, keeps them in Git and moves them through a pipeline from the UI. Salesforce Help says: "Beginning October 2026, DevOps Center is changing its name to Lifecycle Center". Salesforce lists it as free and included with Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Developer and Unlimited editions. The governance layer, Lifecycle Center Governance, is in beta.
