Harsh, We looked at some of the other client libraries for .NET and opted to use the Kafka-Rest proxy.
There are challenges with using it, since it is stateful. You can only run and connect to a single instance at a time. By that I mean, if you have 3 consumers in a group you still must connect to the same instance of the proxy. We have made our systems idempotent to account for a failure and re-parsing of the messages. Besides that, it works fine.

I see a couple of active .Net Kafka libraries as well as the Confluent Kafka Rest Proxy. We can write the readers in Java or some other language, so our .Net application only needs to write to Kafka. Does anybody have any real-world experience with using Kafka from .Net? -Dave Dave Tauzell | Senior Software Engineer | Surescripts O: 651.855.3042 | www.surescripts.com<http://www.surescripts.com/> | dave.tauz...@surescripts.com<mailto:dave.tauz...@surescripts.com> Connect with us: Twitter<https://twitter.com/Surescripts> I LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/surescripts-llc> I Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/Surescripts> I YouTube<http://www.youtube.com/SurescriptsTV> This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential, may contain sensitive information, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
