Confluent Cloud Schema Registry Preview¶
Confluent Cloud Schema Registry is available as a preview feature. A preview feature is a component of Confluent Platform that is being introduced to gain early feedback from developers. These features can be used for evaluation and non-production testing purposes or to provide feedback to Confluent. Comments, questions, and suggestions related to preview features are encouraged and can be submitted to preview@confluent.io.
Supported Features¶
- A single Schema Registry is available per environment (e.g. Prod, Dev).
- Access Control to Schema Registry is based on API key and secret.
- Each environment must have at least one Apache Kafka® cluster to enable Schema Registry.
