Building Real-time Dashboards with Salesforce Streaming API
Building Real-time Dashboards with Salesforce Streaming API
Over the past several years, the real-time web has continued to grow in popularity and numerous technologies have emerged to facilitate the delivery of data in real-time. The Salesforce Streaming API provides a soft real-time stream of notifications, based on events occurring within the platform, that customers and partners can use to develop custom dashboards that continuously update in real-time. Join us as we provide an overview of real-time communication, explore the Salesforce Streaming API, and discuss the advantages of streaming, compared to push and REST. We'll put it into action with Apex, Visualforce, and push topics to create real-time updating dashboards that can be displayed on monitors and TVs around the office.
