What is Bundlet?

Bundlet is a small but feature-rich tool developed with the primary goal of making the task of deploying NetSuite customizations as simple as possible

What is Bundlet?

The Problem

For all its strong suits, deploying and migrating customizations in NetSuite can be somewhat cumbersome.  The much loved user-friendly SuiteBundler tool for deploying customizations will not be extended with any new features, while the other option SDF (SuiteCloud Developer Framework), powerful as it is has a steep learning curve. With no out of the box integrations to GitHub and the like, companies are left to build their own SDLC infrastructure.

No formal process for deploying code, coupled with deployments being a hassle can have several implications on the business.

  • Administrators and sometimes developers end up deploying customizations manually, a waste of time, and a huge risk for human error - "We tested this in Sandbox didn't we?!"
  • The lengthy deployment process prevents companies from shipping new NetSuite features and fixes as often as possible.
  • Many companies deprioritise version control for as long as they can get away with it. Say hello to developers overwriting each other's work, functionality being replaced and lost by account refreshes, and a scolding from the auditors.

The solution

Bundlet is a small but feature-rich tool, focused solely on NetSuite, developed with the primary goal of democratizing the deployment of NetSuite customizations, enabling both administrators and developers (with little knowledge of SDF or GIT), to make NetSuite deployments frequently, and with ease.

Eliminating the obstacles that surround NetSuite deployments will allow teams to:

  • ship new features and fixes faster, 
  • maintain a cohesive set/pipeline of NetSuite environments,
  • reduce the risk of deploying code that breaks once live in its destination,
  • maintain backups in GIT for each of their NetSuite accounts,
  • and much more.

The tool is a wrapper around the native SDF, abstracting a lot of its complexities away and automating all that can be automated, leaving the user to simply select what needs to be deployed from where, and to which NetSuite account. Bundlet will also integrate tightly with GitHub, which means that companies will be able to establish an industry standard process for managing their NetSuite releases.
