Heroku Connect provides two-way Salesforce connectivity out-of-the-box, using Heroku Postgres as the data source. Using the source data from Salesforce now available in the Heroku database, I could quickly build an API for the Angular client using the Spring Boot framework. After this project has been established, the project has established the connectivity between Salesforce and Heroku has been selected to demonstrate the power of Heroku's power-free addon. After the project was selected, the Hobby Dev (free) edition will suffice.
