Platform events provide a scalable way to decouple Salesforce applications by defining custom event objects with __e suffix and enabling event-driven communication across Apex, Flows, REST, and external subscribers.
Instantiate the first Order_Placed__e event in your Salesforce org using the provided Apex snippet.

To publish Salesforce Platform Events in Apex, instantiate the custom event object with the __e suffix and use EventBus.publish. Consume events by writing an Apex trigger on the platform event object or subscribing via external CometD and Pub/Sub APIs.
Event-driven architecture in Salesforce decouples applications by communicating through custom event objects. You need it when building scalable workflows that require asynchronous processing, such as publishing an Order_Placed__e event to notify multiple independent subscribers.
Replay IDs track processed Salesforce Platform Events so subscribers can resume processing from a specific point after a failure. Implement idempotent processing patterns alongside replay IDs to ensure messages are not duplicated upon re-delivery.
Yes, you can subscribe to Salesforce Platform Events using Flow or external REST subscribers. Publish events directly from Flow or REST, and react to them asynchronously by configuring Flow triggers or connecting external CometD and Pub/Sub API clients.
High-volume Salesforce Platform Events require careful error handling to avoid blocking transactions. Use dead-lettering patterns for graceful failure management and enforce best practices for event metadata and publish behavior to handle scale efficiently.
