A Kafka Developer's Guide to AsyncAPI

By Dale Lane posted Tue March 30, 2021 04:48 AM

  

How Kafka developers can use the AsyncAPI specification to describe how their applications are using Kafka topics.

In my post "Why should you document your Kafka topics?" last week, I wrote about the benefits of documenting your Kafka event sources, and mentioned a few of the problems that this can help with.

In this post, I want to show you how you can document the API for your Kafka event sources by creating AsyncAPI documents.

You don't necessarily have to learn the AsyncAPI specification - tools such as the new Event Endpoint Management capability in Cloud Pak for Integration make it easy to document APIs with user-friendly forms that generate AsyncAPI documents for you. However, some developers will want to know more about what is happening under the covers, so here is an introduction.
