Schema Registry options for Strimzi Kafka
Hello -
We have Strimzi Kafka installed on kubernetes (on GCP, as well as onPrem).
I'm looking for feedback on the Schema Registry options -
1. Confluent Schema Registry
2. Karapace
3. any others
There is a strimzi registry operator as well, but that has not been updated
in the last 3 years
https://github.com/lsst-sqre/strimzi-registry-operator
Has anyone used this ?
Pls let me know.
thanks!

Hi,
Strimzi doesn't have any official schema registry. The same Strimzi
registry operator you pointed is not an "official" Strimzi project anyway.
Said that, the Strimzi community is happy with several schema registries
like the Confluent one and Apicurio.
If you want to get more insight from people and their experience maybe you
can join the Strimzi CNCF slack channel (https://slack.cncf.io/) and ask.
Thanks,
Paolo

Hi Omer,
We (NetApp Instaclustr) are pretty happy with Karapace (we contributed to it), and provide it as a managed service along with our Apache Kafka offering.
I did a blog series on it a while back if you are interested in reading about my experiences with it, starting here with part 1 https://www.instaclustr.com/blog/exploring-karapace-part-1/ (all links at end)

Thanks Omer .. I was checking the options and it seems this is one of the
most popular Open Source options for Schema Registry.
I'm planning on implementing the Apicurio Registry Operator with Strimzi
Kafka.
Do let me know if there are any specific pointers or issues you might have
encountered OR I need to be aware of.
Also, from what I understand - this has an Apache 2.0 license, so we use
this without restrictions in commercial products as well.

Hi Karan,
Definitely version 3.0 has more bug fixes, features compared to version 2,
you can also compare what has been done via milestones on GitHub, the only
thing I remember about version 3 is they dropped support for Confluent API
version 6.
Kind regards.

Hi All - anyone has any info on this ?
Also, I've created a discussion post on the github .. but haven't received
any response from the apicurio community yet.
Is there a better way to reach out to the apicurio community ?

Re: Schema Registry options for Strimzi Kafka

Hi Omer, All,
I installed apicurio Schema Registry & configures ACLs (read-only,
developer, admin user etc)
One thing I noticed is that the default Schema Registry version installed
when i use the operator is 2.6x
The latest Schema Registry version is 3.0.6 .. is it ok to update the
Schema Registry version to 3.x when using the Operator ?
Any feedback on this ?
tia!

Hi,
Like Strimzi, Red Hat folks has its schema registry offering called
Apicurio Registry which plays nicely with k8s through its operator.
Currently Apicurio suit is getting regular updates.
Good luck,
