Designing event-driven architectures using the AsyncAPI specification

Dear all,

How are you? Ready for Christmas Holidays? We are! ;-)

How can we end this 2019 better? Well... by starting to prepare the next one! ;-) That's why we, the BarcelonaJUG community and InnoIT Consulting, are delighted to invite you to our next Meetup of "Designing event-driven architectures using the AsyncAPI specification" driven by Fran Mendez ( https://twitter.com/fmvilas ).

In the world of REST APIs, we're used to having a great variety of tools and specifications (Swagger, OpenAPI, RAML). This has enabled us to automate the generation of documentation portals, code, and also led to a bunch of excellent API management services like Apigee, Mulesoft, Kong, and many more.

On the contrary, the world of event-driven architectures hasn't received much love until recently. With the growth of technologies like Kafka or RabbitMQ and architectures like microservices, organizations are starting to adopt event-driven architectures more and more.

In this session, we'll go through the key points we learned about APIs and apply them to the event-driven or asynchronous APIs (yes, they're APIs too.) AsyncAPI instead of OpenAPI/Swagger, AMQP/MQTT/Kafka instead of HTTP, and publish/subscribe instead of request/response.

At the end of the talk, you would have learned how to document, code, and test your event-driven architecture.

Fran is the founder of the AsyncAPI Initiative ( https://asyncapi.com ). He’s a software engineer with a strong focus on event-driven APIs and microservices. In his spare time, he enjoys playing volleyball, kayaking, and stand-up paddle surf.

See you there have great holidays and Happy New Year!
