In this talk, Fran will show you how to build schema-first APIs and event-driven architectures using the AsyncAPI specification and Glee.
At the end of the talk, you should have a clear understanding of the benefits of schema-first development and how it can make your code more resilient and maintainable.

AsyncAPI is a new standard specification for describing asynchronous and event-driven architectures. Here’s an introduction to the initiative around AsyncAPI.
Asynchronous and event-driven architectures are rising styles. AsyncAPI answers this trend, as a standard specification for describing these communication scenarios. We’ve been following the AsyncAPI Initiative for years now and are excited to finally dedicate an event to AsyncAPI!
At this event, Fran Méndez, Project Director, AsyncAPI will give us an introduction to AsyncAPI and the surrounding community initiative. Ben Gamble, Head of DevRel at Ably Realtime, will follow with some real-world examples of how AsyncAPI has been implemented in production and the benefits of use.

In this session, Fran will walk you through his vision and predictions for the future of the API specifications. As the creator of the AsyncAPI Initiative and a long-term user of OpenAPI and JSON Schema, he'll provide insights on how the future API specs landscape will look like and how the different specs are meant to play together for the benefit of the user.

Presentation @ MODELS 2020 (https://conf.researchr.org/details/models-2020)
In this Internet of Things (IoT) era, our everyday objects have evolved into the so-called cyber-physical systems (CPS).
The use and deployment of CPS has especially penetrated the industry, giving rise to the Industry 4.0 or Industrial IoT (IIoT).
Typically, architectures in IIoT environments are distributed and asynchronous, communication being guided by events such as the publication of (and corresponding subscription to) messages.
While these architectures have some clear advantages (such as scalability and flexibility), they also raise interoperability challenges among the agents in the network. Indeed, the knowledge about the message content and its categorization (topics) gets diluted, leading to consistency problems, potential losses of information and complex processing requirements on the subscriber side to try to understand the received messages.
In this paper, we present our proposal relying on \emph{AsyncAPI} to automate the design and implementation of these architectures using model-based techniques for the generation of (part of) event-driven infrastructures.
The prototype that implements this proposal as an open-source project is available at https://github.com/SOM-Research/asyncapi-toolkit

Ben Gamble, Ably
In this talk, I’ll explore the good, bad, and awesome aspects of building Async API into our open data hub. As advocates of open source tools, it is our mission to simplify the collection and distribution of streaming data by taking care of everything under the hood, including business-to-business exchange of data and “last mile” delivery to end consumers.
Beginning with a discussion on open API, I’ll walk you through our deliberations, and why we chose AsyncAPI, how it helped us and what it cost. I’ll tell you how we improved our tools to make use of AsyncAPI specs; how we managed the gaps in the specification; along with the benefits.
AsyncAPI spun out of open API with a goal to solve some of its shortcomings. The initiative set out to standardize asynchronous and event driven APIs across the industry. With the proliferation of IoT devices and the connectivity promised by 5G, having standard ways to connect has become more important than ever.
AsyncAPI has been added to every product we host on our open platform. Why? Because we believe AsyncAPI is a good standard for open event based data/APIs, and we want to support a proper way to carry out code generation and validation - with specifications that make sense.
Thousands of software engineers around the world have provided code, documentation, tests, or other improvements to open source projects. With the help of initiatives like AsyncAPI we want to help people liberate their data by tackling the common challenges they face when trying to distribute it.

Validating Event Driven Architecture (EDA) with AsyncAPI - Waleed Ashraf, relayr GmbH
https://www.asyncapi.com/ is an open-source initiative to provide a specification for EDA through AsyncAPI. It is based on the open-api initiative which also comes under the Linux Foundation.
At relayr Gmbh, we started using AsyncAPI for Kafka message validations. So, this talk is about what we learned with our experience and how you can easily and effectively integrate the specification in your system.
