Data Governance on StreamNative Cloud

Data governance is a critical aspect of any data platform. StreamNative Cloud provides a comprehensive set of data governance capabilities to help you govern your data streams effectively. This section provides an overview of the data governance capabilities available on StreamNative Cloud.

Schema Registry

Schema Registry allows teams to define and enforce universal data standards that enable scalable data compatibility while reducing operational complexity.

As a multi-protocol platform, StreamNative Cloud currently supports schema management for two different protocols: the built-in Pulsar schema registry and the Kafka Schema Registry, which is compatible with the open-source Confluent Schema Registry API. These two schema registries are not currently interoperable. When building your applications, ensure that producers and consumers use the same schema registry. Work is ongoing to make these two schema registries interoperable within StreamNative Cloud.

Pulsar Schema Registry

The Pulsar schema registry is built into the brokers. You can use Pulsar CLI tools to manage your schemas. See Pulsar Schema for more information.

Kafka Schema Registry

Kafka schema registry is introduced as part of the Kafka protocol support on StreamNative Cloud. Currently, it is compatible with the Confluent Schema Registry API.

See Kafka Schema Registry for more information.
