AsyncAPI Beta
Anypoint Code Builder supports AsyncAPI specifications, allowing for the design and implementation of event-driven architectures. The process involves creating AsyncAPI projects, configuring message brokers, defining channels and messages, and validating the specifications. The IDE provides tools for importing and editing AsyncAPI specifications, as well as scaffolding code to streamline the development process.
Supported message brokers:
