This project demonstrates how to use Apache Avro schemas with Kafka producers in a .NET application, featuring automatic schema compilation during the build process.

The example shows how to:

• Define Avro schemas for message types
• Automatically compile Avro schemas to C# classes
• Produce messages to Kafka using the Confluent.Kafka client with Schema Registry

• .NET 9.0
• Docker and Docker Compose

1. Start the Kafka environment:

   docker-compose up -d
   

2. Build and run the project:

   dotnet run --project KafkaAvro
   

3. Access Kafka UI at http://localhost:8080
