In this episode, we sit down and talk with Tyson Read, the Director of Product Management at Salesforce, about Event Relays, and specifically, how they can help your integration between Salesforce and Amazon. 

Tyson previously worked as a conservation biologist and in biomechanics until he transitioned into computers and coding. Tyson's first project with Salesforce was building a mobile app with a mobile SDK to help biologists go out into the field and record different kinds of observations.

In his current role at Salesforce, Tyson works on different eventing technologies using platform events and change data capture, working on the runtime for those products and figuring out how to use events, not only to empower customers but also to actually build Salesforce products.

Show Highlights:

• Learning Python as his first language
• His introduction to Salesforce
