AsyncAPI's Role in Shift Left Streaming Architectures
summary
Argues that using AsyncAPI as a single source of truth moves schema, security and governance to the event source and prevents downstream poison pills and schema drift. Demonstrates a working prototype that maps an HTTP AsyncAPI spec to a Kafka AsyncAPI spec with JWT security, runs via Docker Compose and a Zilla proxy to expose HTTP endpoints backed by Kafka topics, shows real time balance updates in the UI, and supports Kafka wire protocol for Redpanda/Confluent/MSK.
