People get the problem we are solving and are excited for the solution.

Akita is one of the most interesting startups in the dev tools space that I’ve seen lately.

~ Conventional testing covers less and less of what actually goes wrong ~Tipping point here now => Akita & its competitors~

I was floored by the what @jeanqasaur from @AkitaSoftware, was doing with monitoring network traffic - generating API docs. #ObservabilityInTheNicOfTime

Catch @jeanqasaur if you can. Her API tool has my favorite feature: it makes developers happy and, as a consequence, raises the security posture.

Ultimately I think @AkitaSoftware is addressing a fundamental issue in our industry: our tools are at least one generation behind the systems we're building.I care about this because I want our industry to deliver value, with reasonable "quality", without chewing through people.

@AkitaSoftware is doing a great job in the dev tools world

This `akita har ingest` excites me more than I probably should, but I see it as a nice way to decouple the regular integration tests flow, producing an HAR artifact, and the API specs "discovery" step. It really opens the door to new workflows to generate API definitions.

Not sure when Akita was founded but they employ the kind of approach I used to dream about. Very cool.

Let's be honest, #API integrations are hard, and despite all the care and testing, they'll fail at some point.

That's where @AkitaSoftware comes in to help. They analyze your API traffic and give you visibility of what's going wrong.

So excited to have been an early user! Congrats on the launch @jeanqasaur and team!!

scale = risk

keeping an eye on @AkitaSoftware re: modeling sw behavior.

even just for documentation - it is terrifying to me when >50% of a team’s knowledge of service behavior is stored in 6-7 senior devs’ heads

Amazing insight and a great product. Never really thought about your thought process but wondered why it took our dev team so long to integrate certain APIs when apples to apples, should be similar.
