Streaming Schema Evolution Validator
Seed: schema_registry, producer_changes, consumer_tests; example validation: detect incompatible Avro schema changesADVERTISEMENT - IN-ARTICLE
Implementation Guide
Create a validator that checks proposed schema changes against known consumer expectations using schema registry rules and contract tests. It should run in CI to block incompatible schema deployments and generate suggested compatibility fixes and migration paths (default values, field deprecation). This helps avoid runtime serialization errors in streaming pipelines.
