How Companies Actually Use AsyncAPI
summary
AsyncAPI is used as config-as-code to stop API drift and automate infra: teams push AsyncAPI YAML into CI/CD and the system generate Helm charts and CRDs that provision Kafka/Pulsar topics (used at LEGO, Bank of New Zealand, Kunagal). Eight use cases appear in real deployments, only one being docs. Toolchain examples: Argo/Kubernetes, Strimzi-like operators, schema registries, Backstage, CNCF mocking/testing tools to generate clients, run contract tests, enforce topic naming and cut cloud costs.
