Building on our knowledge of Apache Kafka and of JCOBridge, we created the open-source KNet project: the only .NET suite exposing the full Kafka API surface — including Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect, not just Producer/Consumer/Admin — by driving the official Java Kafka client packages directly, with no protocol reimplementation. KNet is compatible with any broker implementing the Kafka wire protocol, not only Apache Kafka™ itself.

On top of KNet we maintain KEFCore, an Entity Framework Core provider that turns Kafka topics into a distributed, LINQ-queryable, event-driven data store, and KNet for OPC, which bridges OPC-UA industrial data sources into Kafka as standard Kafka Connect plugins.
