Managing Asynchronous APIs at Scale: From Documentation to Governance

Ian Cooper’s session examines the challenges organizations face as event-driven architectures expand and proposes a practical framework combining AsyncAPI, CloudEvents, schema registries, and automated infrastructure pipelines. The conclusion is that documenting endpoints alone is insufficient; teams also need centralized discovery, schema compatibility controls, and a mechanism capable of recreating infrastructure when failures occur.
