Creating Salesforce Developer Org – what does this mean?
I was asked to ensure my company has a Salesforce Developer Org. I see I can create one via https://developer.salesforce.com/ but does this mean I will have a full copy of my production data to test code? or does this mean I need to create a developer sandbox? What does creating a developer org mean (will I be able to see a copy of my company’s production data?

Hi Maria,
Developer Org is exactly what it sounds – it’s an org for development. As it’s not connected to any other Salesforce org at all, you won’t have any data there (except for the samples). Your developers can deploy code there and work on new features. But from my experience, most customers prefer dev sandboxes.
To have a full data copy you have to create a Full sandbox in your production org. Go to “Setup -> Sandboxes”, create a new one and choose Full there. This will create a full copy of your production as a sandbox, where you can test any scenarios related to data.
