Overview
Akita Software offers a subscription platform for API observability and service mapping. It automatically observes API traffic to build live maps of how services interact, helping teams identify failures and latency without manual instrumentation. The dashboard shows service-to-service calls, failures, and performance issues to speed root-cause analysis. By focusing on automatic API visibility and dependency maps, Akita helps DevOps teams manage complex microservice ecosystems and improve reliability.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Postman listed Akita acquisition prominently on July 14, 2026 media pages.
- Jean Yang still spoke as Postman Observability head in 2026 events.
- Postman’s 40 million-user distribution gives Akita immediate enterprise reach and adoption.
What critics are saying
- Akita lost standalone control after Postman’s 2023 acquisition; product priorities now depend on Postman.
- Datadog, Honeycomb, and Splunk crush observability budgets and can commoditize API mapping.
- If Postman deprioritizes Observability, Akita’s technology becomes a feature, not a company.
What makes Akita Software unique
- Akita’s eBPF discovery joined Postman’s platform on July 19, 2023.
- Jean Yang heads Postman Observability, preserving Akita’s product DNA in 2026.
- Akita’s traffic-only monitoring avoided SDKs, frameworks, and manual service instrumentation.
