Case Studies
The best way to learn how to use AsyncAPI is not only through documentation that usually is focused on recommendations and best practices. It is also good to confront with real-life case studies that explain how people really use AsyncAPI and what are their flows.
Feel free to submit your case study. We have a template for you. For more details read our FAQ.
Adeo owns different brands in retail industry focused on home improvement and DIY markets, like Leroy Merlin.
The HDI brand operates in Germany and internationally, offering life and property/casualty insurance services. They cater to both private individuals and corporate clients, and have been providing industrial insurance since 2016.
Adopters
Check out how different companies use AsyncAPI and what problems they solve.
Feel free to submit a pull request with information about how your company uses AsyncAPI. We know that writing an official case study might be time consuming and requires too much internal paper work. Let's make sure we can at least capture a use case that is already a great learning information for the community.
| Company name | Use Case | Resources |
|---|---|---|
| Reiffeisen Bank | Implementing a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline utilizing GitOps principles to deploy a topology constructed on AsyncAPI definitions using a Kubernetes operator to an Apache Pulsar cluster. | |
| LEGO Group | Managing brokers, where developers abstain from direct access to the management console and instead upload AsyncAPI documents to a self-service API, which provisions access and topics specified in the documents. | |
| LEGO Group | Defining, documenting, and distributing event-driven APIs while ensuring consistency and governance. | |
| Bank of New Zealand | Establishing a decentralized company-wide governance strategy for APIs, providing a self-service platform for publishing APIs and documentation. | |
| Zora Robotics | Documenting public MQTT APIs for IoT products and constructing a developer portal. | |
| Walmart | Managing a centralized API Hub for internal teams, enhancing event discoverability and visibility using AsyncAPI. AsyncAPI facilitates company-wide governance on asynchronous APIs. | |
| eBay | Facilitating partner integration with eBay through asynchronous communication, leveraging public AsyncAPI documents for code generation and rapid integration, while ensuring governance and standardization. | |
| Postman | Enhancing discoverability of information about system events by building a tool called Synapse for provisioning entire event-based infrastructure, with AsyncAPI documents as the source of truth. | |
| Adobe | Providing event documentation to expedite development by generating classes based on message payload information from AsyncAPI documents. | |
| Open University of Catalonia and Prodevelop | Enabling monitoring of ports through a design-first approach, utilizing UML class diagrams to design the entire infrastructure. UML diagrams are source of truth for generated AsyncAPI documents that later are used for models and clients generation. These documents are extended with additional SLA properties to specify runtime quality of service requirements, facilitating real-time monitoring. | |
| Oracle | Documenting data streaming APIs with AsyncAPI documents for client library generation in various programming languages, reducing development time for applications consuming data. | |
| TransferGo | Enhancing discoverability of information about event-driven systems by documenting services with AsyncAPI, rendering documentation, and creating catalogs of events. Legacy services utilize a special library to generate AsyncAPI documents, while new services require AsyncAPI documents for generating PHP classes. | |
| Kuehne+Nagel | Implementing a GitOps-based pipeline to enable self-service management of Kafka infrastructure, including access control management. Automation of AsyncAPI document governance ensures consistency in the infrastructure at the pull request level. | |
| Adidas | AsyncAPI is a standard for defining asynchronous APIs using Apache Kafka. AsyncAPI governed under official guidelines. AsyncAPI is promoted to be used for documentation and code generation. | |
| Morgan Stanley | AsyncAPI is promoted not only inside the company but also as a standard for FinOS Foundation for managing architecture as code. |
