As a community, we have experienced both proud and painful moments, celebrated our victories, and faced challenges and losses. However, in the end, we overcame those difficulties and emerged stronger and better. + +Although this summary is a bit later than usual, I am excited to share the details of what happened in November and December and the highlights from the last conference of the year, which took place in Paris. + +## AsyncAPI Community Building and Maintenance Goals Proposal 2025 + +The 2025 community building and maintenance goals proposal is currently open for discussion and will soon be put to a vote for TSC members. We would love your thoughts and suggestions, particularly when solving our community's challenges. +[Please take a moment to review the open PR related to the AsyncAPI Community Building Goals for 2025](https://github.com/asyncapi/community/pull/1575) to participate in the discussion and share your ideas and solutions. + +## AsyncAPI Conf in Paris 2024 + +The AsyncAPI Conf was back again in Paris this December, thanks to [Mehdi Medjaoui](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mehdimedjaoui/) and the amazing team at [APIdays](https://www.apidays.global/) for hosting and sponsoring the venue. We participated in the three-day event, celebrating a year of the `API Standards` booth alongside friends from OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and GraphQL. Special thanks to all the members of the AsyncAPI community who could join the conference and help at the booth: [Hugo Guerrero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugoguerrero/), [Fran Méndez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fmvilas/), [Richard Coppen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-coppen/), [Hari Krishnan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harikrishnan83/), and [Lukasz Gornicki](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukasz-gornicki-a621914/). + +The AsyncAPI Conf track took place on the 3rd day of the conference, featuring an impressive lineup of sessions that attracted a diverse audience. The event was consistently packed, with attendees engaged throughout the day. + +
+ +[Fran Méndez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fmvilas/) and [Lukasz Gornicki](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukasz-gornicki-a621914/) started the track with a welcome speech and mentioned that AsyncAPI recently celebrated its 8th anniversary in November. + +
+ +[Naresh Jain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nareshjain/) and [Pierre Gauthier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierre-gauthier-46080916/) presented their keynote on `TMForum's AsyncAPI for a New Era of Event-Driven Architecture`. During the session, Pierre announced TMForum adopts AsyncAPI as a standard, with over 120 telco APIs already in production. TMForum has around 800 telco companies, and they will implement all APIs in an async manner, extensively utilizing the request-reply pattern. + +
+ +[Frank Kilcommins](https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-kilcommins) demonstrated how treating API governance as an enabler unlocks the ability to deliver compelling developer experiences for producers and consumers in event-driven architecture (EDA). + +
+ +[Leonid Lukyanov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonid-lukyanov/) shared how EDAs introduce new data models, protocols, and APIs not found in the traditional REST/CRUD application stack. And how one can abstract these elements to make them feel familiar to application developers, allowing them to create streaming applications seamlessly. + +
+ +[Hugo Guerrero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugoguerrero/) then shared how the AsyncAPI Initiative is not only in charge of the specification but has created open-source projects to make it easier for developers to work with the specification documents. + +
+ +[Julien Testut](https://www.linkedin.com/in/julientestut/) and [Alessandro Cagnetti](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cagnetti/) shared how organizations can harness the full potential of event-driven integration by leveraging GoldenGate Data Streams, AsyncAPI, and Solace PubSub+ Event Mesh. They shared a great use case for AI and how it can be trained real-time and standardized with AsyncAPI. + +
+ +[Annegret Junker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-annegret-junker-141a99a4/) explained how to design effective asynchronous APIs by using an API-first approach. The importance of defining Kafka topics and structuring your definitions. + +
+ + +[Jonathan Michaux](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmcx/) spoke on how leveraging AI agents with AsyncAPI can create conversational interfaces that dynamically interact with event streams and asynchronous messaging systems. + +
+ +[Hari Krishnan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harikrishnan83) and [Joel Rosario](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-c-rosario/) touched on leveraging the AsyncAPI specification as an executable contract and how to isolate and test each component within an EDA. + +
+ +[Laurent Broudoux](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurentbroudoux/) and [Hugo Guerrero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugoguerrero/) ended the day by explaining how to use Microcks to provide a solution for mocking and contract-testing your async APIs without extensive coding and empowering you to build extensive and reliable integration tests. + +
+ +## Technical Steering Committee + +Part of doing mentorships is witnessing the growth within the community, and we are excited to welcome [Ashmit Jagtap](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashmit-jagtap) as our newest addition to the maintainers list and TSC member.

As this is the final blog for the year, I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to serve and continue supporting the community. + +As we approach the holidays, I wish everyone happy holidays and a fantastic 2025. + +I'll be back next year with an overall review summary of 2024. + +**Until then, stay safe, and happy holidays!** \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/markdown/blog/2024-october-summary.md b/markdown/blog/2024-october-summary.md index 88d9e7b9e36..1093df77ba1 100644 --- a/markdown/blog/2024-october-summary.md +++ b/markdown/blog/2024-october-summary.md @@ -11,7 +11,6 @@ authors: link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/v-thulisile-sibanda/ byline: AsyncAPI Community Manager excerpt: 'October Community Update And Online Conference Summary' -featured: true --- October marked the third AsyncAPI Conference, this time an online edition.
