Unified Governance - Integrating Apache Pulsar with External Schema Registries

Explore how Apache Pulsar integrates with external schema registries to achieve unified data governance across streaming ecosystems in this 43-minute deep dive conference talk. Learn about the implementation of Pulsar Improvement Proposal (PIP) 420, which decouples schema management from the broker and enables seamless integration with third-party schema registry services like Confluent Schema Registry. Discover why separating schema management unifies governance and simplifies geo-replication, understand how Pulsar clients connect to external registries for schema storage, retrieval, and validation, and examine practical code-level examples of producing and consuming messages using external schemas. Gain insights into best practices for centralized schema control and cross-platform compatibility, equipping yourself with a comprehensive blueprint for building unified schema governance strategies in multi-system streaming environments using Apache Pulsar.
