Schema Registry Lite
Version and validate your data schemas without Kafka complexity
Schema Registry Lite is a lightweight schema versioning service for teams that need contract enforcement between producers and consumers but do not want to operate a full Confluent stack. Store Avro, JSON Schema, or Protobuf definitions, enforce compatibility rules, and validate payloads via REST API.

The Problem
Sound familiar?
Schema drift between microservices causes silent data corruption
Confluent Schema Registry requires Kafka — overkill for REST-based teams
No easy way to enforce backward compatibility across teams
The Solution
Schema Registry Lite fixes this.
Multi-Format Support
Store and version Avro, JSON Schema, and Protobuf definitions side-by-side. Reference schemas from other subjects with $ref resolution.
Compatibility Enforcement
Choose BACKWARD, FORWARD, FULL, or NONE compatibility per subject. Incompatible registrations are rejected with a human-readable diff.
REST Validation Endpoint
POST any payload to /validate/{subject}/{version} and receive a structured error report — use it in CI pipelines or runtime guards.
How It Works
Set up in under 2 minutes. No complex configuration.

Version History & Diff
Browse every historical version of a schema with a visual diff view highlighting added, removed, and changed fields.
Team Access Control
Per-subject write permissions so only owning teams can register new versions, preventing accidental cross-team schema pollution.
Why not the alternatives?
Same result. A fraction of the price.
