Kafka for Developers - Data Contracts Using Schema Registry - Generating AVRO Classes Using Gradle

This lecture covers the process of generating ABRO classes from a schema using Griddle as a build tool. It begins with an introduction to the schema and the choice of build tools, followed by detailed steps to generate the classes. The lecture also reviews the generated classes, highlighting the use of enums and Java objects. Finally, it concludes with a brief overview of the next steps, which involve building producers and consumers using the generated Avro classes.
