# Event Types

Pub/Sub API supports these types of events.

- High-volume platform events, including custom and standard events.

  For more information about custom platform events, see [Defining Your Custom Platform Event](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_events.meta/platform_events/platform_events_define.htm) in the _Platform Events Developer Guide_. For more information about standard events, see [Standard Platform Event Object List](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_events.meta/platform_events/platform_events_objects_list.htm) in the _Platform Events Developer Guide_.

- Real-time event monitoring events.

  See [Real-Time Event Monitoring Objects](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_events.meta/platform_events/platform_events_objects_monitoring.htm) in the _Platform Events Developer Guide_.

- Change data capture events.

  See [_Change Data Capture Developer Guide_](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.change_data_capture.meta/change_data_capture/cdc_intro.htm).

Pub/Sub API doesn’t support legacy events, such as standard-volume platform events, PushTopic events, and generic streaming events.
