Clemens Vasters is Lead Architect in Microsoft’s Azure Messaging team that builds and operates a fleet of hyper-scale messaging services, including Event Grid, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Stream Analytics and Microsoft Fabric Eventstreams. Clemens represents Microsoft in messaging standardisation in OASIS (AMQP, MQTT) and CNCF (CloudEvents, xRegistry) and writes too much code for being an “Architect”. He looks back at nearly 30 years in professional software development and has seen the same fashion come and go a few times.
JSON Structure, an IETF Internet Draft, is a strictly typed data definition language for code generation and database mapping. Unlike JSON Schema, it enforces strict types and determinism. It adds extended primitives (e.g., int32) and compound types to ensure precise data modeling for modern polyglot applications. It’s a better JSON schema than JSON Schema while retaining the familiar structure.
In this session by the primary author of the specs, you will learn about the JSON Structure core and extension specs and the SDK tools that come with it.

Target Audience:
Amazon proposed using the AMQP messaging protocol as a transport for MCP at the inaugural MQ Summit in 2025. Ken Liao’s talk and demo sparked significant interest and follow-on discussion at last year’s summit leading to consensus to engage the AMQP community and ambition to extend the reach of the OASIS standard. Join Clemens, Stefan and Matt for an update on what’s been going on behind the scenes to take this vision to the next level and, most importantly, learn how you can get involved.
