Clemens Vasters is Lead Architect in Microsoft’s Azure Messaging team that builds and operates a fleet of hyper-scale messaging services, including Event Grid, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Stream Analytics and Microsoft Fabric Eventstreams. Clemens represents Microsoft in messaging standardisation in OASIS (AMQP, MQTT) and CNCF (CloudEvents, xRegistry) and writes too much code for being an “Architect”. He looks back at nearly 30 years in professional software development and has seen the same fashion come and go a few times.

Talk:
Beyond CloudEvents: Endpoints, Messages, Schemas – CNCF xRegistry

The CNCF xRegistry project is an offspring of the graduated CNCF CloudEvents project, motivated by the need to formally declare which events can be raised by services and which are available to handle. This session provides an overview of the xRegistry metadata model, its API and the mirroring document format, dives into reference implementations, explains its use in products, and shows you how you can leverage xRegistry to build robust and type-safe event pipelines.

Talk objectives:

  • Introduce xRegistry, the metadata store designed in the CNCF, by the same folks that built CloudEvents, which will become foundational Microsoft’s Azure and Fabric streaming and messaging platforms.

Target Audience:

  • All messaging users and experts.
