Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-04-02· at 17:45· Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 10-12·
summary
Defines an xRegistry core spec for versioned groups/resources and provides concrete specs for endpoints, messages, schemas plus a REST API, a static-file export/import, and a CLI; reference server by Duck Davis and CLI by Clemens Vastas are available. Demo shows a to-do service emitting CloudEvents over NATS, JSON Schema payloads registered and queried, and round‑tripping between single JSON files and the server UI. RC1 is out now toward a 1.0 release and HDI reports this cuts schema duplication across API management, message bus, and event broker for ~300 devs.
