What We Are Going to Build
• Astro and his friends are setting up a treasure hunt
web-app
• They want it next week so time-to-market is key
• They hope it will be popular so it needs to scale
• They do not want to reinvent the wheel so reuse
and leveraging Salesforce for configuration is key
• Would like to save the data in Salesforce

1. Configuration of the app should be done
in Salesforce
2. Users should access the app on their
phone and the app served from Heroku
3. Response data saved back to Salesforce
Introducing the app

Let’s Build It!
1. Create the app on Heroku
2. Deploy source directly from Github
3. Provision the add-ons
4. Configure the app using
environment variables
5. Add logging and monitoring
6. Configure Heroku Connect
7. Scale the app

So here is what we
are going to do:
1. Go to https://bit.ly/sf-platform2
2. Go through the app
3. Find your lottery name on the
confirmation page

Building Applications that Scale
I. Codebase - One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
II. Dependencies - Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
III. Config - Store config in the environment
IV. Backing services - Treat backing services as attached resources
V. Build, release, run - Strictly separate build and run stages
VI. Processes - Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
VII. Port binding - Export services via port binding
VIII. Concurrency - Scale out via the process model
IX. Disposability - Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
X. Dev/prod parity - Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible
XI. Logs - Treat logs as event streams
XII. Admin processes - Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes
