A hands-on workshop exploring how to use the API Product Canvas for designing AsyncAPIs. Learn practical techniques for collaborative API design that brings together business stakeholders, architects, and developers to create well-structured event-driven APIs.

Discover how Allianz Germany is transforming from traditional batch processing to real-time eventing architecture. Learn about the organizational, technical, and cultural journey of implementing event-driven architecture in a 130-year-old insurance powerhouse.

In this talk, we will explore the transformative potential of WebAssembly (WASM) in enhancing event-driven deployments on Kubernetes. We will examine the current state of WebAssembly in conjunction with Kubernetes, Knative, and KEDA, providing an overview of its capabilities within the CNCF ecosystem. We'll focus on building autoscaling event processing systems with practical examples using Kafka, and discuss the benefits and challenges of this approach.

Learn how to secure C-suite commitment for the eventing and streaming transformation by showing them the benefits. Link streaming to ROI, growth, and resilience to secure lasting sponsorship and turn streaming into the foundation of business transformation.

Learn how to use the API Product Canvas methodology to design AsyncAPIs in collaborative workshops. This talk, presented with Annegret Junker, demonstrates practical techniques for creating event-driven API designs that align business requirements with technical implementation.

OpenAPI is a great specification language for RESTful APIs, being machine-readable and well-suited for both developers and business analysts. However, when designing APIs in collaboration with IT and business, the YAML or JSON-based standard can be overwhelming for non-technical people. To better communicate API specifications, we developed the API Product Canvas, a tool that helps communicate API specifications with ease. We will present our learnings from designing APIs with IT and non-IT people and how to get to a result in a collaborative way to make well-architectured, business-oriented APIs that are understood by developers and work in production. The audience will be equipped with a new tool: the API Product Canvas, for communicating APIs.
