Governing Data in Motion with Confluent Stream Governance

This post introduces Confluent's Stream Governance suite, focusing on three pillars: Stream Quality, Stream Catalog, and Stream Lineage. It details how to secure sensitive data using RBAC, ACLs, Audit Logs, and encryption. It also covers defining and validating schemas using Schema Registry, including schema linking and broker-side validation. The Stream Catalog is enhanced with tagging capabilities for data classification and discovery. The post uses an air traffic control scenario to illustrate these concepts.
