Producing Messages With a Schema in Confluent Cloud Console

Confluent has introduced a new feature to its Confluent Cloud Console, allowing developers to produce messages serialized with schemas directly from the UI. This makes testing applications for topics with schemas easier and more efficient. The console now supports producing sample messages by selecting a schema and entering a compliant message in the input. Additionally, it can validate messages ad hoc to ensure that only compliant messages are produced to the topic, avoiding issues for downstream services.
