AsyncAPI and the World Wide Flow
summary
Claim: combining AsyncAPI for discovery and subscription with CloudEvents for metadata creates a practical standard to connect event streams across organizations. Wire protocols already exist (MQTT AMQP Kafka WebSockets), and vendors and platforms (Google Pub/Sub EventBridge Salesforce k-native) are adopting CloudEvents and AsyncAPI. Missing pieces are registries or searchable API locations (Google is likely), out-of-the-box language libraries, robust security/auth patterns, provenance/observability, and clear monetization models that prove whether the idea actually lowers integration cost at Internet scale.
