# Connect Business Processes with Real-Time Events

Publish and subscribe to platform events to connect business processes in Salesforce and external sources through the exchange of real-time event data. Also, use event relays to integrate platform events and change data capture events with Amazon EventBridge.

- **[Define and Manage Platform Events](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.platform_events.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use platform events to connect business processes in Salesforce and external sources through the exchange of real-time event data. Platform events are secure and scalable. Define fields to customize your platform event data.
- **[Event Relay](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.ev_relay_intro.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Integrate your real-time events with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Use Event Relay to send platform events and change data capture events from Salesforce to Amazon EventBridge.
