KNet: professional support

Looking for Apache Kafka™ expertise? MASES Group can help you design, build, deploy, and manage Apache Kafka™ clusters and streaming applications.

What MASES Group can help with

Architecture and design

  • Cluster design and sizing: broker count, partition layout, replication strategy, and KRaft migration from ZooKeeper-based deployments
  • Streams topology design: stateful vs. stateless processing, GlobalKTable patterns, state store configuration, and exactly-once semantics
  • Integration with third-party brokers (Confluent Platform, Redpanda, Amazon MSK, Aiven, IBM Event Streams) using KNet client-side features

Implementation

  • Producer and consumer application development in .NET using the full KNet API surface — including Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect SDK, and KRaft backend integration
  • Migration from existing Kafka Java or .NET client implementations to KNet
  • Custom Streams topologies: windowed aggregations, joins, interactive queries, and custom state stores

Operations and performance

  • Performance tuning: producer batching and compression, consumer fetch optimization, Streams RocksDB state store configuration
  • Kafka cluster monitoring, alerting, and capacity planning
  • Topic configuration guidance: partitions, replication factor, retention, and compaction

Training and knowledge transfer

  • Hands-on workshops covering the KNet API surface and Kafka Streams programming model
  • Code reviews and architectural walkthroughs for teams building on KNet
  • Guidance on JCOBridge HPA Edition for teams requiring the highest reliability at the JVM↔CLR boundary
