Lost in Translation: Unlocking Integration Success Beyond AsyncAPI.
summary
Claims that AsyncAPI solves only syntax not semantics and that success comes from explicit language alignment, not more specs. Uses Data Interface Quadrants (a codecentric framework) plus TOGAF/ADM, event storming, CloudEvents/JSON Schema and CI semantic checks to enforce meaning. Builds a living glossary and maps payload needs by consumer quadrant; combining AsyncAPI for architecture and CloudEvents for payload semantics keeps adoption realistic. Reported outcome: clearer integration contracts and fewer misinterpreted events when semantic checks run in the pipeline.
