Getting Started with the Buf Schema Registry

Protobuf is a great schema language—until you need to manage imports and dependencies across multiple projects. Without proper tooling, teams struggle with schema distribution, keeping definitions in sync, and maintaining compatibility as APIs evolve. Filling this need, the Buf Schema Registry (BSR) handles schema distribution, discovery, and documentation with built-in breaking change detection and dependency management.

Learn all about the BSR in our online workshop. Our engineering team will share why we built the BSR, its capabilities, tips for getting started, example use cases, and best practices. 

We’ll stop to answer your questions throughout this interactive session. 

We’ll cover:

• Why Protobuf needs dependency management
• Dependency management with the BSR
• Schema documentation
• Generated SDKs
• Q&A throughout
