Data sharing across cloud service providers is emerging as a mission-critical need for large-scale enterprises and for those looking for cloud agnostic event streaming solutions. While this can be achieved with Kafka multi-region architecture for high availability of data, it still remains a challenge for clients to establish data contracts and evolve their schemas to be in-sync across Kafka clients. In this talk, we will discuss how Fidelity Investments designed a multi-cloud global registry for schemas using schema registry as a centralized repository for managing schemas enterprise-wide. We will also deep dive into the topology of our global schema registry service and demonstrate how it remains resilient over different failure scenarios (region/CSP). We will review metrics that are monitored for deeper observability and benefits such as the simplification of data contracts between producers and consumers and the untangling of data sharing channels across organizational units. Whether you are an analyst or an architect, this session will improve your ability to discover, manage, and correlate event schemas across a wide range of personas.
