Today we are talking all about platform events and event-driven architecture in general. Here to discuss this topic with me are two Product Managers. Jay Hurst is the VP of Product Management for Platform Integration Services and Raj Advani is the Director of Product Management for Platform Events and Change Data Capture. Both have worked with Salesforce for almost 20 years and bring a lot of strong experience to the table.

In our conversation, Raj said that if you asked 10 people what event-driven architecture was, you’d get 10 different answers. So if you’re confused about this concept, you’re not alone. Tune in and we’ll clear it all up, cover everything you need to know about event-driven architecture, and give you some use cases for it.

Show Highlights:

• The evolution of API at Salesforce.
• How to redesign your old implementations and integration patterns.
• What event-driven architecture is and when to use it.
• The difference between platform events and change data capture (CDC).
• The customization aspects of platform events and CDC.
• When not to use platform events and CDC.
• The scalability of platform events.
• The future of integration at Salesforce.
