AsyncAPI Conference 2021

I'm working at Adeo, the European leader for DIY retail, on a strategic digital product. Our task is to optimize the company's articles store prices. To do so, our product performs end-to-end calculation throughout the value chain. We use a Kafka-based architecture to handle the calculation requests and send back the results. Our requesters are partners from the headquarters. An expansion to the company's business units is planned for 2022. But how to efficiently communicate with our partners and ensure that their asynchronous requests exactly match our expected messages structure? How to provide our partners with an easy-to-use and user-friendly exchange framework? How to help them produce their requests and consume our results easily? AsyncAPI is a part of the solution! We use this amazing specification to provide a live documentation, always up to date, based on our Kafka AVRO records. This talk is about a real value chain use case with a technical implementation, that provide our partners with exciting reader experience in production. Come and discover this use case and how to deal with AsyncAPI and AVRO files in a digital product based on Maven and Spring Boot technologies.
