MuleSoft announced the open beta for AsyncAPI support in Anypoint Platform to facilitate the adoption of event-driven architectures (EDAs).

AsyncAPI support allows businesses to develop end-to-end integrations for event-driven applications, enabling systems to process and respond to real-time events efficiently. The new capabilities help organizations easily bring real-time customer interactions across various applications and systems by simplifying the complexity of connecting with popular event brokers and message queues.

EDAs can unlock new AI use cases by bringing real-time communication to systems or processes that contain fluctuating data sets, such as predictive maintenance, dynamic pricing, or fraud detection. For example, banks can use AI models to analyze transactional data and user behavior patterns to identify suspicious activities and trigger immediate responses such as transaction blocking or alerts to mitigate fraud risks.

MuleSoft brings a diverse set of integration capabilities into a single platform, empowering organizations to build APIs for a wide range of use cases, architectural patterns, or protocols — AsyncAPI, REST, and GraphQL APIs.

AsyncAPI support in Anypoint Platform allows businesses to take advantage of event-driven architectures and build end-to-end, event-driven integrations. The new capabilities enable organizations to support real-time customer experiences by extending their existing architectures to popular event brokers and message queues, such as Kafka and Anypoint MQ. With AsyncAPI support, developers and API architects can:

- Design and govern AsyncAPI specifications using MuleSoft’s API design tooling (Anypoint Design Center) or IDEs (Anypoint Code Builder and Anypoint Studio), which simplifies conformance with the AsyncAPI standard and predefined best practices.

- Discover and reuse events across the organization by publishing AsyncAPI specifications to MuleSoft’s public marketplace (Anypoint Exchange) for collaboration across the enterprise.

- Implement event-driven applications through a new, configuration-driven experience that simplifies the complexity of interacting with event brokers and message queues, such as Kafka and Anypoint MQ.

Design, governance, and cataloging of AsyncAPI 2.6 specifications are generally available now.

Implementation of AsyncAPIs in Anypoint Code Builder and Anypoint Studio is in open beta.

Anypoint MQ is generally available.
