Kafka for Developers - Data Contracts Using Schema Registry - Adding the UUID as Key for CoffeeOrder

This lecture explores the logical type UUID, a universally unique identifier represented as a string conforming to RFC 4122. The tutorial covers defining UUID in an Avro schema, configuring build files in Gradle and Maven, and running tasks to publish records with UUIDs. It concludes with potential use cases for UUIDs, emphasizing control over ID fields instead of relying on database-generated IDs.
