When systems need to talk to each other asynchronously, I reach for Platform Events. They’ve become a core part of how I design integrations and decoupled automation.
Why they matter:
They allow publish/subscribe communication between systems
They’re built for scale and resilience, not just speed
You can trigger flows or Apex in response to events—with zero user action
I use Platform Events to log activity, trigger cross-object updates, and interface with external platforms without waiting for a response.
If you’re still forcing synchronous logic into complex flows or triggers, you’re missing out. Events let you build Salesforce apps that think beyond the save button.
