OpenEdge
Version 12.8
Documentation

This section details the features that help in application integration use cases and improved interoperability introduced in the OpenEdge 12.8 LTS release.

Kafka Event Streaming
Many modern enterprises looking at distributed streaming platforms for their event-driven ecosystems have chosen Apache® Kafka® as their preferred technology. After OpenEdge is integrated with Kafka, OpenEdge applications can participate in an event-driven architecture based on the Kafka platform to:
- Send and receive messages from ABL applications or be consumed by other Kafka applications.
- Send multiple messages as a single transaction via Kafka.
When sending messages via Kafka, the messages from ABL Developers can be sent with the required level of reliability without needing to manage additional producers by configuring Quality-Of-Service (QOS) settings per topic.
.NET
By supporting .NET on Windows and Linux, OpenEdge provides a clear path for businesses that have developed their OpenEdge applications using .NET Framework, as they can maintain and modernize their .NET application without disruptive architectural redesign.
