Скачать или смотреть AsyncAPI or CloudEvents? Both My Captain! - Laurent Broudoux, Microcks.io

AsyncAPI Conference 2021 - Day 3
18th November 2021

The rise of Event Driven Architecture is a necessary evolutionary step towards cloud-native applications but events come also with challenges! One of the first you are facing when starting up as a development team - aside the technology choice - is how to describe these events structure? And then: how can we efficiently work as a team and improve collaboration to reduce the development life cycle and TTM (Time To market)? New standards like CloudEvents or AsyncAPI came up to address these needs allowing structure description. But, people often ask: Should I use CloudEvents or AsyncAPI? There is the belief that CloudEvents and AsyncAPI are competing on the same scope. I see things differently, and I’d like to explain why you may need both of them without increasing the level of complexity from the development perspective! I’ll also introduce Microcks: a tool to easily simulate and test CloudEvents and AsyncAPI combinations in minutes. In this session, we will: - Go over the introduction of both specifications, - Highlight their strengths and complementarity, - Give an overview of Microcks for mocking and testing “CloudEvent-ified AsyncAPIs” ;-)
