Hi, has anyone used this plug-in with Schema Registry from Confluent Cloud? I haven't seen any reference to this in the documentation.
Thanks in advance
Hi Patricia,Me and other people on this chat has this problem with our client.In my case, the solution that my client has adopted regarding this is to develop an external microservice and put it as an intermediate layer between Appian and Confluent. The microservice is able to read the message in AVRO format in Confluent's Schema Registry and transform it to String type without any Schema Registry, and will publish it in another Kafka topic in Confluent in string format. So, the reading from Appian is correct, because we are finally reading a string type. I hope this information helps you :)
Hi Miguel,
We have a few questions on how this solution is implemented if you could please add more details. We especially want to know if the microservice you made also publish in the Kafka topic for Appian and if the Appian plug-in connects to the microservice or directly to Confluent.
Thank you
