From Side Project to Industry Standard: Story of AsyncAPI
2026-02-14 , VYAS - 1 - Room#VY104

We will discuss how AsyncAPI started and reached to valuation of more than $33M. Sponsored by various big tech giants: Red Hat, Solace, IBM, IQVIA Technologies, GraviteeSource Inc, Postman, Bump.sh, Svix, TIBCO, Aklivity, Kong, Route4Me, HDI Global

AsyncAPI helps teams design, document, and manage event-driven systems—but what does that actually look like in practice? In this talk, we’ll explore how companies like LEGO, eBay, and major banks use AsyncAPI to tackle real-world challenges: improving developer handoffs, managing Kafka topics, and generating code directly from message formats.

We’ll skip the marketing hype and focus on practical lessons—how AsyncAPI fits into existing pipelines, which tools teams rely on, and what’s worked (and what hasn’t). If you’re curious about bringing AsyncAPI into your own projects, this session will show you what’s possible—and what to watch out for.
