Tired of wrestling with complex Kafka setups that break Entity Framework's simplicity?

K-Entity-Framework brings the simplicity you love about EF Core directly to Apache Kafka.

Imagine producing events as naturally as saving entities, with built-in transactional safety through the outbox pattern.

No more scattered configuration files or learning yet another messaging framework. just the familiar DbContext semantics you already know.

For installation guides, tutorials, examples, and API reference, visit our DOCUMENTATION

Quick Start

builder.Services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(options => options

    // Configure EF Core to use SQL Server
    .UseSqlServer("Data Source=(LocalDB)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=Hello World")

    // Enable Kafka extensibility for EF Core (publishing/consuming integration)
  .UseKafkaExtensibility(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("Kafka")));

dbContext.Orders.Add(new Order { Id = 1232 });

// Not a block call, the event will be produced when SaveChangesAsync is called.
dbContext.OrderEvents.Produce(new OrderCreated { OrderId = 123 });

// Save and produce both.
await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();

// here you're starting to consume kafka and moving the iterator cursor to the next offset in the assigned partitions.
await foreach (var order in dbContext.OrderEvents)
{
    await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync(); // Commit message
}
