How Akita Works

Akita uses eBPF and state-of-the-art traffic analysis algorithms to power a drop-in solution for understanding API behavior.

Passive Monitoring

01
Our low-friction deployment model is based on passively monitoring API traffic via eBPF. The Akita agent uses network sniffing to pick up traffic across your services, so you don’t need to change your code or proxy.

API Traffic Analysis

02
Akita automatically infers endpoint-centric properties about your APIs, from endpoint structure, to data format, to performance information. Our unique method enables you to understand your service behavior, without having to instrument code or integrate libraries.

Run Akita Anywhere

Drop-In Solution

We use eBPF to passively listen to network traffic, so dropping Akita into your systems is fast and easy. No code changes, library inclusions, or proxying necessary.

Language-Agnostic

Watching traffic at a network level enables Akita to work with any programming language.
