S7E19 | Kafka Schema Registry for Beginners: Avro, Compatibility & Data Contracts Explained

In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we explore the Kafka Schema Registry, the essential tool that keeps producers and consumers in sync. Without schemas, event-driven systems risk data chaos—but with the Schema Registry, you gain a reliable contract that ensures compatibility and stability in your pipelines.

We cover:

Schema Basics – why schemas matter in Kafka
Avro + Registry – the most common serialization choice
Compatibility Modes – how to evolve schemas safely over time

By the end, you’ll understand how the Schema Registry prevents breaking changes, enforces data contracts, and allows developers to confidently scale real-time systems.
