An Auto-Documenting Event-Driven Architecture Using Async API and Inngest

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

System captures JSON events with a v version field and publishes them to a per-workspace registry (separate prod and test). A worker parses each payload, generates a Q definition that becomes JSON Schema, versions and stores it, and a small npm package uses those schemas to emit an AsyncAPI YAML spec usable in AsyncAPI Studio. Typescript types and SDK code are generated, the parser is open source on GitHub, and the pipeline runs in production at Inngest today. captures JSON events with a v field parses to Q then JSON Schema then AsyncAPI
