Kafka for Developers - Data Contracts Using Schema Registry - Different Types of Naming Strategies

The lecture introduces naming strategies in Schema Registry, focusing on topic name, record name, and topic record name strategies. It explains the abstractions of topic, schema, and subject, and how these relate to naming strategies. The topic name strategy is the default, used for single message types per topic.
