kafka integration to matlab

I am using Matlab 2019b on Windows 10. I am looking for a way to integrate kafka into matlab? Matlab will be processing real-time data and produce a message to send out through kafka. Any example would be appreciated.

I can easily do this by running a seperate program (python) monitoring a file which matlab produces but I would like to know if there is a way to cleanly integrate matlab and kafka.

Thanks for your input.

Can see a few integration options in this github entry - including a MATLAB integration. There are also Simulink, Code Generation, and Production Server options.

We have released a MATLAB support package that lets you read and write Kafka data as timetables:

Despite the name, it does not require MATLAB Production Server, though you can use MATLAB Production Server if you have it.
