Azure Schema Registry

What Azure Schema Registry is

Azure Schema Registry is a paid cloud service for organizing schemas used to validate events. It supports Avro, JSON Schema, and Protobuf formats, with Backward, Forward, and None compatibility modes. Validation is defined at the event level. The service is available through the web and has no free plan. Standard, Premium, and Dedicated plans differ in registry size, schema groups, schema versions, and event retention. Standard provides a 25 MB registry, 25 schema versions, and up to seven days of retention. Premium provides a 100 MB registry, 100 schema groups, 1,000 schema versions, and up to 90 days. Dedicated provides a 1,024 MB registry, 1,000 groups, 10,000 versions, and up to 90 days. Standard capacity is billed per throughput unit per hour, while Premium is billed per processing unit per hour; displayed pricing depends on region and currency. Dedicated usage is charged in one-hour increments with a four-hour minimum.
