Confluent has introduced a new feature called Schema Linking, which enables the replication of schemas between clusters, allowing for easier management and copying of schemas across different environments. This feature introduces two new concepts: schema contexts and schema exporters, which provide greater flexibility in managing and using schemas. Schema Linking can be used to complement Cluster Linking or support scenarios such as aggregation, backup, staging, and migration of schemas. It allows for the replication of schemas between clusters, as well as within a single cluster, and provides features like continuous export of schemas from one cluster to another or across different contexts within the same cluster.
