Building and managing an extensive API for Robotics and IoT
summary
Describes a production MQTT API with 600 channels across 26 categories and a Kotlin workflow that generates AsyncAPI from code, not the other way around. Explains using a shared Kotlin MQTT library, annotations + reflection to emit AsyncAPI via the jsyncapi library, handling enums, custom serializers and infinite-recursion guards, and publishing per-category JSON plus a monolithic file into Antora docs and CI/CD. Shows integration into a no-code composer and virtual-robot rollout (95% unpublished).
