Using a combination of Heroku and Force.com, Moroku is able to provide provide a high-volume Gamefication engine for iOS and Android clients. Our core engine runs on Heroku, and all of the configuration and view of Analytics is done via Force.com. Join us to learn how to integrate the on-demand scalability of Heroku with Force.com to provide an administration and analytics portal for customers. We'll show you how to use the Salesforce Bulk API to upload thousands of records to Force.com and how to use the REST API to get configuration data from Force.com, and more.
