async-order-api

Order API accepts request for an order which is created asynchronously.

1. Upon receiving request to create Order, it adds entry into SQL DB with status as ACCEPTED, sends a message on Kafka for further processing and responds with a 202
2. Eventually when it hears back on a separate Kafka topic about the status of the Order it updates the status of that Order in the SQL DB
3. The service also exposes a GET endpoint so that API consumers can view the status of the Order

Specmatic Contract Test Setup

1. We use OpenAPI spec to contract test on the HTTP interface which results in the application posting to a Kafka Broker
2. And Specmatic Kafka Mock uses AsyncAPI spec to spin up a Mock Kafka Broker to received, validate and respond with appropriate messages a. We are leveraging request-reply pattern in AsyncAPI here
