Is it possible to make use of Schema Registry Service with Apache Kafka? If yes, which API will be more sophisticated?

Hi Shubham,

The Confluent Schema Registry works quite smoothly with Apache Kafka. As for the “which API” question, if you’re asking about open source Apache Kafka vs. Confluent Platform, CP will have more sophisticated features, but either one will work with Schema Registry. If I’m misunderstanding your question, please let me know!

Thanks,  
Dave
