Kafka for Developers - Data Contracts Using Schema Registry - Date Logical Type

This lecture covers the implementation of a date logical type in an Avro schema for a coffee order system. It demonstrates creating a new field for order date, regenerating Avro classes, and updating the consumer application to handle the new schema. The process includes publishing new records and verifying the order date field in the consumer.
