Sitecore TDS: Improving  Productivity

With the release of Sitecore 10.0 comes Sitecore for Visual Studio 1.0! SVS is included with your Sitecore TDS & Razl bundle license. Find out what SVS is all about!

Compatibility - Completely compatible with Visual Studio 2019 (TDS 5.8 and up only)

Serialization – Treat Sitecore items like files, so you can leverage the source control of your choice and work in teams.

Visual and Configurable Sync – See the differences between Sitecore and file system copies, choosing how to push or pull content. Or automate it to run in the background.

Automated and Configurable Packaging – Powerful rules for creating packages across environments, enabling automation and reducing risk.

Flexible Deployment – Deploy how you want; use a built-in connector or create a package to use with your own deployment processes in Octopus, VSTS, Gulp, Powershell, or the tool of your choice. Alternatively, deploy entire solutions directly from Visual Studio in one click.

Code Generation – Have your code written for you. Save time by building up your data models automatically.

Build and Deploy Validation – Catch issues and traps before they break your site. Validate your environment and projects at build-time, instead of hearing about it from your website users.

Both developer tools share a similar functionality — the ability to serialize Sitecore items to the file system and store them in source control. On top of the shared core functionality, TDS gives you total control of your Sitecore development process and is packed with features designed to let you deploy quickly and safely. Check out the comparison document below to find out which tool is better suited for your project.

Flexibility – Choose from a range of options for virtually every task.

Speed – Automation and multi-threaded processes improve end-to-end performance, beyond any other option.

Error Avoidance – Protect yourself from the most common mistakes automatically.

Best Practice Adherence – Use Sitecore’s native formats and APIs without changing fundamental processes.

Repeatability – Get processes dialed in and automate from end-to-end.
