zilla VS product-apim

Hi gang, we’re building a multi-protocol, event-native edge/service proxy called Zilla. Zilla can abstract Kafka topics for web apps, IoT clients and microservices through user-defined REST, Server-Sent Events (SSE), MQTT, or gRPC APIs.

Hey folks, we’re working on Zilla, an open-source, event-native API gateway that provides a stateless, multi-protocol interface to Apache Kafka. I’m sharing that we’ve added support for another protocol — gRPC! You can find the full announcement HERE

Hey folks, I’m with Aklivity and we’re working on an open source project called Zilla. Zilla is a multi-protocol, event-driven API gateway that enables apps and services to use standard protocols, such as REST and SSE, to consume and produce Kafka event-streams.

There are projects that work to unify these two technologies so you can get the best of both worlds: https://docs.aklivity.io/zilla/

We’re building an open source event-driven API getaway called Zilla (https://github.com/aklivity/zilla). Zilla natively supports Kafka and enables you to create event-driven REST and SSE APIs that seamlessly expose Kafka topics and services to mobile and web clients.

Here’s a link to the project (it’s called Zilla): https://github.com/aklivity/zilla, and here is also a blog that talks about the differences between system-level and application-level Kafka-REST APIs: https://www.aklivity.io/post/bring-your-own-rest-apis-for-apache-kafka.

We recently announced the launch of Zilla(https://github.com/aklivity/zilla), our open-source API Gateway for Apache Kafka. Zilla is designed to expose Kafka topics over various protocols and APIs, including HTTP and REST.

We just launched Zilla (https://github.com/aklivity/zilla) — an open source API gateway for event-streaming and are curious to get some of your thoughts and feedback on the project.

The paradox situation is that there is an overwhelming amount of work, not because everything is so hard, but because everything is so easy. There is still a lot to learn, and to do, our Dockerfile is a mess. API management wise I only just had a glance at WSO2, which looks really promising).
