Confluent Schema Registry

Confluent Schema Registry is a tool that helps manage and store the structure of data, known as schemas, used in streaming applications like those built with Apache Kafka. It ensures that the data produced and consumed by applications is consistent and compatible over time, preventing errors when data formats change. By centralizing schema management, it allows developers to easily share and update data formats while maintaining data quality and integrity across different applications. This is essential for building reliable data-driven systems that can evolve without breaking existing functionality.
