Hi Jim, When you create a new comic, you would send a POST request to <eventserver-url>/events.json, or use `pio import` to batch import. In the demo, this would be a '$set' event for 'item'. This would update the PostgreSQL database, in particular, the table "pio_event_<pio_app_id>", and the new comic will be available for recommendation. The demo uses PredictionIO Ruby SDK ( https://github.com/apache/incubator-predictionio-sdk-ruby) to make these requests.
