Title of Talk:
Schemas, Streams and Grocery Stores
Abstract:
All of us go shopping at grocery stores, but how many of us have noticed how similar/different they are to event-driven systems? Find out in this talk which builds off a previously published series on Protobuf and Kafka (https://bit.ly/3qygNLr), further expanding on the critical role that Confluent’s Schema Registry plays in your architecture. We’ll go over the fundamentals of event design, the motivation for Schema Registry, a Spring Boot example, and provide a forward looking view on the collision trajectory of Data Governance, IDLs, and CI/CD.
