In this episode we go over what what Scratch Orgs are, why you would use them, how to set them up using VSCode and Illuminated Cloud 2 and much more. Scratch orgs are an excellent tool to start moving your org away from your production org being the source of truth and start have source control be your source control. This helps enforce the idea that your whole org shouldn't be viewed and iterated on as one giant entity, but rather smaller individual apps that make up the greater org. It may seem like a huge feat to make the transition, but it's a feat worth pursuing.
