Confluent Schema Registry

Overview

This plugin allows you to import your Confluent schemas into EventCatalog, keep them in sync with your documentation.

With EventCatalog you can add semantic meaning to your schemas, and optionally assign them to topics, services, domains and owners.

  • In this example you use EventCatalog Chat to talk to your architecture. We import schemas and topics, assign them to services, domains and owners. Then using EventCatalog Chat and "bring your own prompts" we can ask questions about your schemas, topics, services, domains and owners. Helping your teams get insights in seconds.
