Time For AsyncApi Specification
summary
Walmart documents event-driven APIs with the AsyncAPI specification and reports concrete engineering work: they implement custom extensions to capture company-wide metadata, run an in-house linter that validates AsyncAPI files in CI, and integrate validation into deployment pipelines so malformed or noncompliant event contracts fail builds. The effort produces governance reporting and measurable developer UX gains—faster onboarding and fewer production contract mismatches—demonstrating a practical path from spec to enforcement.
