Thank you! I've been at it since 2018 and we've been working on the repo since 2020, after pivoting from API security. -Jean from Akita

Hello, Jean here from Akita.
Akita is lighter weight in terms of install and setup than Cilium's Hubble and will get you to insights more quickly. With Akita, it's easier to have a single dev use Akita and get visibility across many services. Cilium's Hubble is more of a power tool: it will give you more different kinds of data, which can be quite useful for people who are looking for that.
Akita is currently only accessible as a hosted SaaS product (with a free tier).

Ah good catch! I have updated the graphic to not cut off the left axis label. Thanks.

Hi, Jean here from Akita. Yes, it's possible to generate an OpenAPI spec, either by running Akita in production or from a HAR file. Here's a blog post someone wrote about using Akita to generate an OpenAPI spec: https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/creating-openapi-from-http-...

Hello, this is Jean from Akita. You're right that running Akita as a sidecar does incurs extra compute. Whether or not this incurs extra cost on Fargate depends on whether it's necessary to switch to a larger instance. In zMatch's case, the answer is no. In general, it depends on how much traffic you're sending through Akita.
Something to point out is that Akita passively watches traffic and doesn't sit in the path of traffic, so there's no impact on latency, unless the task is at 100% CPU utilization.
