**TLDR:** A structure in which event schemas are centrally stored and their evolution is managed in stream-based systems.

<p>An event schema registry allows producer and consumer teams to work safely against a shared data structure. Schema versions, backward compatibility, and field changes can all be managed through this system. Without a registry, silent breakage is much more common in streaming environments. It is a foundational component for data compatibility in multi-team event architectures.</p>
