CloudEvents helps in the delivery of events by standardizing where common event metadata can be found in the messages carrying those events without the need to understand the schema of each event. But discovering which endpoints support those events, how to communicate with them, and finding the schema of the messages carrying those events can be challenging. This is where xRegistry can be used. xRegisty defines a core set of interoperable APIs for a generic "registry" that can be used to persist and query its contents to help discover resources and their metadata. On top of this extensible base registry model we are developing 3 domain specific registries: Endpoint, Message and Schema registries - specifically aimed at enabling the automation, tooling and code generation often needed in distributed systems development. In this session you will learn about CloudEvents, xRegistry and how we're trying to help users be more productive in an event-driven world.
