From Side Project to Industry Standard - Story of AsyncAPI

Learn how AsyncAPI evolved from a side project to an industry standard valued at over $33M through this conference talk exploring real-world implementations at companies like LEGO, eBay, and major banks. Discover practical applications of AsyncAPI for designing, documenting, and managing event-driven systems, including improving developer handoffs, managing Kafka topics, and generating code directly from message formats. Explore how AsyncAPI integrates into existing development pipelines, examine the tools teams actually use in production, and understand both successful implementations and common pitfalls to avoid when adopting AsyncAPI in your own projects.
