Status update (week 11, 2019)

Olà amigos! This is an exciting week for us. Solace joined the AsyncAPI Initiative as a Platinum Sponsor 🎉. Thank you, Jonathan Schabowsky, for leading the process. And if that’s not enough, we finished our “Protocol mappings” milestone. Keep reading!

Latest changes in the specification

  1. Protocol-specific information. This is a long-awaited feature. It allows you to define protocol-specific information in channels, operations, and messages.

  2. Separate application headers from protocol headers. From now on, all the protocol-related headers must be included in a protocolInfo object, and the existing message headers must be used only for application headers, if any.

  3. Annotate a channel parameter as multi-level. Do you want to tell your code a specific parameter should span across multiple levels? Now you can annotate channel parameters to indicate that. Pretty much like the # (pound) symbol in AMQP and MQTT or the > (greater than) symbol in NATS.

  4. Unify examples fields. In the past, we had the example field in schemas and the examples field in some other places of the specification. They are now unified using the plural form and allowing for more than an example per object. However, we didn’t remove the support for example field in schemas, since we want to remain compatible with OpenAPI schemas.

I truly value your method of keeping everyone informed about the project's developments. It highlights the significance of transparency and accessibility within any system. In South Africa, we’re implementing a similar idea with Sassa Status Check, a platform that enables individuals to conveniently monitor their SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) status. Just as regular project updates benefit stakeholders, this platform empowers applicants to stay updated on their application status, minimizing uncertainty and enhancing the user experience. Ensuring people are well-informed is essential!

I really appreciate your approach to keeping everyone updated on project progress. It’s a reminder of how important transparency and accessibility are in any system. In South Africa, we’re applying the same concept with Status Check, a platform where people can easily track their SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) status. Just like regular project updates help stakeholders, this platform helps applicants stay informed about their application status, reducing uncertainty and improving user experience. Keeping people in the loop is so crucial!

The Status Check is a valuable tool for beneficiaries, as it provides them with real-time updates on the status of their payments. By anticipating the exact disbursement dates, beneficiaries can effectively plan their monthly finances and avoid unexpected financial burdens. This feature is particularly helpful for those who rely heavily on SASSA payments to meet their essential needs. With the Srd SASSA Status Check, beneficiaries can ensure that they have sufficient funds to cover their expenses, such as rent, utilities, and groceries, without experiencing undue stress or financial hardship.

This week brings exciting news as Solace joined the AsyncAPI Initiative as a Platinum Sponsor 🎉. Big thanks to Jonathan Schabowsky for leading the way. We also completed the "Protocol mappings" milestone, introducing features like defining protocol-specific information, separating application and protocol headers, and annotating multi-level channel parameters. We unified the example fields to allow more examples per object, while maintaining compatibility with OpenAPI schemas. Stay tuned for more updates, and don't forget to check out the latest progress, just like you would with a SASSA status check
