Meet Kurkik: AsyncAPI for Kafka, Pulsar, SNS and SQS
🎃 The AsyncAPI plugin's horse has escaped the IDE. Meet Kurkik, a vendor-neutral tool to detect API drift, export, compare and apply AsyncAPI documents for your message brokers.
Meet Kurkik
🎃 Something stirred in the stables of the AsyncAPI JetBrains plugin…
A pale, strange, slightly spooky horse has escaped, just before Halloween. 🐴🌕
Meet Kurkik, named after Կուռկիկ Ջալալի, the legendary horse from the Armenian epic.
For a few releases, Kurkik lived quietly inside the plugin. It powered everything that touches your messaging systems: Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, Amazon SNS and Amazon SQS. It helped you inspect, export and diff your connections between environments, or against your source code.
Beyond the IDE
But a horse like this can’t stay in the IDE forever. 🕯️ Now Kurkik has its own body and is ready to serve your whole team, outside of IDEs:
- 🦇 Guards against API drift between your AsyncAPI documents and the brokers that actually run
- 🕸️ Keeps APIs self-maintaining. Export, compare and fix, all from one AsyncAPI document
- 🪦 Makes setups repeatable. Apply one document to dev, staging and prod, with a plan you approve
Vendor-neutral by design
Kurkik plays well with others. It is vendor-neutral, tied to no broker vendor or platform. It speaks one recognisable format, AsyncAPI, so the documents it produces can also configure API gateways or feed docs in EventCatalog.
Join the Early Access
👻 Early Access starts in the first week of November, and the first riders get to shape where this horse gallops.
