Airbnb CRM DevOps Framework Summary

Airbnb has introduced a custom DevOps framework for its CRM platform, integrating Salesforce DX, Git, and Buildkite, resulting in a significant reduction in deployment time from 90 minutes to just 15 minutes. The framework accommodates all stakeholders, from developers to low-code users, in the software development and deployment process.

Sharda Kumari, Airbnb's Tech Director Manager, explained the DevOps journey in a blog post. The CRM DevOps lifecycle involves multiple environments: developers, integration, QA, staging, pre-release, patch, and production. Each environment is linked to a specific Git branch and integrated via Buildkite pipelines. After peer review, Buildkite tasks deploy code to the designated sandboxes using Salesforce DX.

The deployment process involves refreshing developer instances from the integration environment, feature branch creation, development, unit testing, and QA. Post-QA, the code undergoes integration testing, feature and regression testing, user acceptance, and performance testing. A separate patch route is used for urgent fixes. The framework includes pre-scheduled deployment windows, build verification for production, and techniques for rapid and incremental deployments.

Pre-set deployment windows are established for code deployments, requiring consent from all stakeholders, and setting clear expectations for end-users regarding new feature releases. Proactive strategies, such as build verification 24 hours before deployment to production, have been adopted to address long CRM deployment times, typically increased by large-scale implementations and extensive testing. These strategies enable efficient execution through rapid deployments.

During these windows, DevOps automation through Buildkite facilitates quick deployment and resolution of any build or test issues, reducing the actual deployment time. Additionally, the architecture employs incremental deployment strategies, deploying only changes between codebases instead of the entire codebase. This is achieved by storing and referencing the previous commit ID in the target organization's custom settings, allowing Buildkite to deploy only the necessary changes.

The DevOps framework addresses key challenges within the CRM platform ecosystem, such as managing multiple development environments, handling the complexity of different metadata types, and the need for continuous adaptation to frequent updates and new features on cloud-based CRM platforms. The framework streamlines processes for more efficient management and integration. In other news, Airbnb made headlines in 2023 for participating in the KDD 2023 event, developing the Riverbed data framework similar to Lambda, and shifting to using SwiftUI.
