Streaming Schema Registry

A Streaming Schema Registry is a metadata management system that centrally stores and manages streaming schema definitions for streaming event types in streaming data platforms.

• Context:
  • It can typically enforce Streaming Schema Compatibility across streaming schema versions.
  • It can typically provide Streaming Schema Evolution through streaming schema compatibility rules.
  • It can typically validate Streaming Schema Conformance for streaming producers and streaming consumers.
  • It can typically maintain Streaming Schema Version History through streaming schema versioning.
  • It can typically support Streaming Schema Subject Management for streaming schema namespaces.
  • ...
  • It can often enable Streaming Schema Auto-Registration through streaming schema inference.
  • It can often provide Streaming Schema REST APIs for streaming schema operations.
  • It can often support Streaming Schema Multi-Format through streaming schema plugins.
  • It can often implement Streaming Schema Access Control through streaming schema permissions.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Basic Streaming Schema Registry to being an Advanced Streaming Schema Registry, depending on its streaming schema management capability.
  • It can range from being a Single-Format Streaming Schema Registry to being a Multi-Format Streaming Schema Registry, depending on its streaming schema format support.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Streaming Serialization Frameworks for streaming schema-based encoding.
  • It can connect to Streaming Message Brokers for streaming schema enforcement.
  • It can interface with Streaming Data Governance Tools for streaming schema compliance.
  • It can coordinate with Streaming Schema Validation Services for streaming schema checking.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Streaming Schema Registry Implementations, such as:
    • Confluent Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema Kafka integration.
    • AWS Glue Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema cloud service.
    • Apicurio Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema open source platform.
  • Streaming Schema Format Supports, such as:
    • Avro Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema Avro format.
    • Protobuf Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema Protocol Buffer format.
    • JSON Schema Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema JSON format.
  • Streaming Schema Registry Deployments, such as:
    • Cloud-Native Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema container deployment.
    • Embedded Streaming Schema Registry for streaming schema in-process management.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Database Schema Catalog, which manages relational schemas rather than streaming schemas.
  • API Schema Repository, which stores REST API schemas rather than streaming event schemas.
  • Configuration Server, which manages application configuration rather than streaming schema definitions.
