Explore the concept of XRegistry and its role in enhancing event-driven architectures beyond CloudEvents in this informative conference talk. Discover how XRegistry addresses challenges in distributed systems development by providing a set of interoperable APIs for persisting and querying resource metadata. Learn about the three domain-specific registries built on top of the extensible base registry model: Endpoint, Message, and Schema registries. Gain insights into how XRegistry facilitates automation, tooling, and code generation in distributed systems. Examine existing tools, including code generators and methods for transforming endpoint metadata into AsyncAPI and OpenAPI specifications. Understand how XRegistry complements CloudEvents by enabling the discovery of event-supporting endpoints, communication protocols, and message schemas, ultimately streamlining the development process for event-driven systems.
