API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Jatin Taneja, Salesforce, Senior Member of Technical Staff

Scaling modern systems goes beyond simply adding servers — it requires rethinking how services communicate. In this session, we’ll explore how Async APIs enable high-throughput, decoupled, and resilient systems through a practical framework: the 6+1 pillars of scalability.

In this condensed talk, we’ll dive into key pillars like loose coupling, message buffering, and partitioned parallelism, showing how they help systems handle traffic spikes, isolate failures, and grow independently. We'll also touch on how the AsyncAPI specification can bring structure and clarity to event-driven architectures.

This talk is ideal for developers, architects, and PMs looking for actionable insights into event-based design. You’ll walk away with a mental model for scaling systems the async way — and where to start.

Key Takeaways:
1. Understand the core pillars that make Async APIs scalable and resilient
2. Learn how to decouple systems using event-driven design
3. See real-world examples of patterns like queue buffering, partitioning, and retries
