KNet for OPC (KNetOPC): OPC-UA suite for Apache Kafka™
KNet for OPC (KNetOPC) is an OPC-UA suite for Apache Kafka™ that bridges industrial automation data with modern event-streaming infrastructure. It allows any OPC-UA server to publish change notifications directly into Apache Kafka™ topics, and provides the tools to filter, transform, and consume that data from .NET applications — including full Entity Framework Core integration through KEFCore.
Note
KNet for OPC (KNetOPC) is built on KNet: a comprehensive .NET suite for Apache Kafka™ that provides direct access to all Apache Kafka™ APIs — Producer, Consumer, Admin, Streams, Connect, and KRaft backend support. KNetOPC uses KNet client-side features, which communicate with the broker exclusively through the Kafka wire protocol and are therefore compatible with any broker that implements it — see Backend compatibility for details.
