About This Video
- This course is comprehensive. The Apache Kafka-related bits do not begin before the Kafka registry section.
- This is to ensure that Avro Schema is fully understood and Avro in Java is fully understood before we move to the confluent schema registry to Apache Kafka.
- This course is the only Kafka REST proxy course and Kafka schema registry that is available online.
This is the new volume of the Apache Kafka Series! Learn Apache Avro, which is the confluent schema registry and confluent REST proxy to Apache Kafka. Learn from hundreds of knowledge-savvy students the most important components of an Apache Kafka stack.

Confluent Schema Registry for Apache Kafka is the standard way to store Avro schemas for Apache Kafka topics. It stores a versioned history for all your schemas in Apache Kafka, supports and enforces schema evolution conditions (backward, forward compatibility), and integrates with Apache Kafka's confluent schema registry. This makes your messages smaller and lighter. This is a great way to increase Apache Kafka's throughput and performance. Confluent REST Proxy allows you to communicate with Apache Kafka by writing and reading Avro data in non-Java languages.
