  • spec

    The AsyncAPI specification allows you to create machine-readable definitions of your asynchronous APIs. (by asyncapi)

    However, in order for the system to work effectively, there must be a common understanding between the components regarding events and their data structures. This is where AsyncAPI comes in; it helps define a contract that describes how the components communicate and behave effectively.

  • cli

    Bump.sh CLI - Deploy your OpenAPI & AsyncAPI documentations from your CI (by bump-sh)

    You can then proceed to upload your AsyncAPI file manually or using Bump.sh CLI.

  • mosquitto

    Eclipse Mosquitto - An open source MQTT broker

    Optional: Mosquitto, an open-source message broker that implements the MQTT protocol; this tutorial uses the public test server

  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

    Git

  • github-action

    GitHub action to deploy your API documentation on Bump (by bump-sh)

    Let’s walk through the process of implementing an event-driven API using AsyncAPI, a specification for defining asynchronous APIs. We’ll also introduce Bump.sh, a tool for documenting and tracking event-driven APIs lifecycle/changes, and demonstrate how you can use it in conjunction with AsyncAPI files.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
