如何从Salesforce查询heroku数据库（例如，通过vf页面）

Question

can anyone help me on this? How can I achieve the following:

I need to set up a prototype integration with heroku from salesforce application. The need is to store a huge volume of data in a single heroku table and accessble from salesforce - eg: have a vf page in salesforce which queries the data in realtime

Answer 1

We're doing this. We use Heroku connect. We created a salesforce custom object and bidirectionally synched it using Heroku connect. You can then update the data on either side (in salesforce or in Heroku:PG).

But Heroku connect is expensive & priced on a # of synchs per month.

Firstly, heroku is not a database. It is a PAAS.

My approach would have been :
- Create a heroku app(this is a link to create a node.js app) link
- After you create the app choose one of the datastore addons -> link if you want a SQL/Column oriented Database choose heroku postgres or ClearDB Mysql
- Secondly you actually need a webserver that exposes this database to you. I am thinking you would make this a webservice of some sort. You can build that in node.js. Here is something that will get you started or give you an idea - link
