Designing asynchronous microservices with AsyncAPI

Click for: original source

In the microservices world, it’s essential to design applications carefully so they scale and function efficiently. When we build services, it’s also important to keep performance in mind so that microservices remain performant as they grow in size. By Vyom Srivastava.

Asynchronous communication is when one service sends a message to another service without waiting for a response. This allows a microservice to continue with its work instead of waiting for a response before proceeding further. Author covers everything you need to know about designing microservices with AsyncAPI:

  • What is AsyncAPI?
  • Specifications
  • Tutorial
  • Code explanation

AsyncAPI is specifically designed for use with message-based architectures such as Pub/Sub systems, queues, and event streams. AsyncAPI specifications are written in YAML or JSON and are composed of three main sections: AsyncAPI version, info and channels. Good read!
