Drop in Akita for instant API observability.
Powered by eBPF and state-of-the-art API traffic modeling algorithms, Akita enables any developer to understand and track API endpoints and their usage in real time:
-
Understand what API endpoints you have. Get a continuously up-to-date, searchable map of your API endpoints, fields, data types, and more. Export as OpenAPI specs.
-
Understand API usage. Get an automatically updated, per-endpoint view of volume, latency, and errors—without having to make code changes or build your own dashboards.
-
Automatically understand API behavior changes. Quickly get a summary of changes to performance and errors, added and removed endpoints, and more.
Simply drop Akita into your system to understand your system behavior, without having to use a proxy or instrument code service by service.
We're in beta and would love to have you try us out! Join here.
