Event Driven API Management - Increase Reusability with AsyncAPI
summary
Claims that treating events as API products and using a unified API management approach yields measurable reuse and faster delivery, backed by a working product: Solace’s Event Portal uses AsyncAPI export/import and a code generator to produce Spring Cloud Stream bindings in about three clicks. It solves the point‑to‑point mess by cataloging event schemas, ownership and topics, enabling consumer filtering (for example “orders for Spain”), lowering onboarding barriers, preventing duplicate event types, and integrating async APIs into existing API gateway/portal workflows.
