Postman Partners With AsyncAPI
December 09, 2020

Postman is joining forces with AsyncAPI to develop the open source tools needed to build the next generation of APIs.

With a shared mission, AsyncAPI gains new resources to continue evolving its specifications, while Postman taps into unparalleled expertise around event-driven and message-driven APIs.

AsyncAPI has grown rapidly while offering an array of open source tooling that complements OpenAPI—applying the same base syntax, but going even further to allow for describing event- and message-driven APIs using HTTP, TCP, MQTT, and other protocols. This will empower Postman’s community of users to define and deliver APIs using a mix of protocols and patterns, while also being able to consistently document, mock, test, and deliver full lifecycle API management services.

Abhinav Asthana, Co-founder and CEO, Postman, said: “As an indispensable tool in the toolbox of API producers and consumers, it just makes sense for Postman to invest in a future where the API toolbox is not just defined by OpenAPI, Swagger, RAML, GraphQL, and SOAP using HTTP 1.1; Postman also wants to expand that toolbox to include TCP, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, MQTT, AMQP, and message- or event-driven APIs as well. We want to create a more complete toolbox, and AsyncAPI is a big part of that.”

Fran Méndez, Founder, AsyncAPI Initiative, added: “Our goal is to make event-driven architectures as successful and mature as REST APIs. We are aware this is a long journey, but with Postman's help, we'll be able to grow the team and continue working on the AsyncAPI specification and all the necessary tools to create a delightful developer experience. The AsyncAPI Initiative team is fully committed to open source software, and the partnership with Postman will help us keep doing our job with freedom and independence.”
