The Kafka module from MxLabs has no AVRO support yet. We have a custom implementation but for maintainability it would be great if AVRO functionality would be part of this module.
This may help other projects as well.

AVRO documentation: https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/schema-registry/fundamentals/serdes-develop/serdes-avro.html
Agreed - AVRO is the industry standard for governed data streaming and Mendix MUST be able to interpret it.
