Synchronous application interactions are easily defined and shared via REST APIs. These APIs have access to standards (OpenAPI specifications to define REST APIs) and tooling (Swagger for code generation or mocking) that facilitate better usage, consumption, and sharing.

The tooling around asynchronous interactions continues to improve with the AsyncAPI specification and the new concept of event API products. Event API products are like regular API products, but use real-time data instead of data at rest to provide value to both internal and external developers.

This talk will focus on how events – any “change of state” – can provide greater value out of existing information by taking advantage of standards and tooling that make it easier to manage, catalog, visualize, and share between teams. Other benefits of exposing events as event API products include secured access and easier governance.

Join us to learn the importance of event API products and how tools and standards like PubSub+ Event Portal and AsyncAPI can facilitate the adoption of event-driven architecture in any enterprise
