    Hello Niek. We will look into adding kafka support possibly in the future. Currently we are going through planning phase where we will assess this as a possibility.

    We have been interested in including you in some discussions. However, it seems we do not have your correct email address. We have been using the email address linked to this IDEA to send you an invitation.

    Thank you for the update.

    The IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Apache Kafka for z/OS is not what I meant. 

    What I meant is support for the Kafka event streaming platform itself, which is the requirement for the tools I mentioned.
