# Asynchronous Processing Via Platform Events

<img style="border:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:2rem 0rem" src="https://architect.salesforce.com/ns-assets/reference-architectures/asynchronous-processing-via-platform-events.webp" alt="asynchronous processing via platform events - shows how asynchronous processing works with platform events. The events published into the bus are delivered in order via publish after commit and then processed in bulk by a flow in a separate synchronous context.">

## Description

The diagram illustrates an interaction process flow for asynchronous processing using platform events, showing how events are published into the event bus as part of a broader architecture pattern. This pattern is designed for scenarios where a process needs to trigger downstream work without blocking the main transaction, letting Salesforce handle the heavy lifting asynchronously.
