summary: >-
  Parse Server exposes an outbound event surface through Cloud Code Webhooks and a
  real-time LiveQuery subscription protocol. Cloud Code Webhooks let an external
  HTTP endpoint receive function calls and object-lifecycle triggers; LiveQuery
  pushes object create/update/delete events to subscribed clients over WebSocket.
